While there, the Troop visited the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island National Park, the Museum of Natural History and Hayden Planetarium, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum and attended the New Jersey Devils vs. the New York Islanders Hockey game at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. On Saturday, the troop hiked the Old New York Historical Trail. “The Old New York Historical Trail” is a very popular 4.87 mile walking tour, rich in the history of New York and the entire country. Some of the stops included the South Street Seaport Museum, Fraunces Tavern, Washington Square in Greenwich Village, Castle Clinton, and the Battery Park area (which overlooks Ellis Island, the Statue of Liberty and New York Harbor), Wall Street - the financial capital of the world, Chinatown, Little Italy, Federal Hall-site of George Washington’s inauguration, Trinity church and graveyard and St. Paul’s Chapel. The boys enjoyed seeing New Year festivities in Chinatown and delicious food in Little Italy while on their hike. Any boy who is 11 years of age or who has completed the 5th grade interested in the scouting program should ask his parents to contact Jeff Conkey, Scoutmaster at 518-321-4926. The boys are pictured with a very famous lady they met while on their trip!
