On Saturday 20 March Scouts and Scouters from Troop 1131 trekked all over the National Mall on a scavenger hunt created by two of our own scouts; Chase Whitfield and Daniel Belloni. The scouts had a blast, ate lunch at the lunch trucks, discovered all parts of the historical monuments and memorials from Lincoln through the memorials to the Vietnam War, Korean War, World War II, past the Washington Monument and all around the national museums and Smithsonian castle. Post your photos if you haven't yet, and see the photos others took for Group 1 (https://photos.app.goo.gl/Y6YVVMCQjMP7JpPRA), and Group 2: (https://photos.app.goo.gl/qij9mEUrK6UPZcro7).
