le Voyageur 72 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 http://www.historyisfun.org/jyf1/calendar.html Interested Troops and Crews can find camping at Tidewater Council's Pipsico Scout Reservation. The ferry across the James is free, and lands very close to the Settelment so there's no way to get lost... Link to post Share on other sites
KoreaScouter 13 Posted February 13, 2003 Share Posted February 13, 2003 There's also an excellent Council Camp run by Colonial Virginia Council's Heritage District, Camp Chickahominy. Camp Chick's just north of Williamsburg, about 15 minutes from Jamestown, and just a few minutes farther from Yorktown, where Cornwallis surrendered to Washington. The Yorktown battlefield has changed little from how it looked in 1781. There's a 26 mile roadway between Yorktown and Jamestown, maintained by the National Park Service, called the Colonial Parkway. It makes an outstanding hike for older Scouts or those who need their Hiking 20-miler. An absolutely wonderful part of the country -- and we haven't even mentioned Colonial Williamsburg.

le Voyageur 72 Posted February 13, 2003 Author Share Posted February 13, 2003 Sorry to break the sad news, a very reliable source has informed me that CVC has sold Chick to developers. But, units interested in camping there should check with CVC to check on the camp's current status.... Link to post Share on other sites
KoreaScouter 13 Posted February 14, 2003 Share Posted February 14, 2003 I just went to CVC's web site, and they have a 2003 summer camp program scheduled for Camp Chick...maybe the real estate development is a down-the-road thing. There's a lot of development around W'burg, and it was only a matter of time! KS Link to post Share on other sites
