The USS Wisconsin is an Iowa class warship currently in Norfolk, VA that served in World War 2. For our December event we will get to eat and sleep for one night on the ship (draft schedule below). Since it will be near the holidays when we are there will be a special event, called Winterfest where they decorate the ship with lights. In order to do this event we need at least 25 scouts to register and the cost for the event will be $95 per person (non-refundable). This is a Boy and Girl troop event subject to appropriate adult coverage.
