One of the many unique experiences Pack 255 arranges for the Scouts and their Adult. We live aboard the USS Hornet aircraft carrier for one night. The trip includes dinner on board, tours of many parts of the carrier not regularly open to the public, a night sleeping in the actual crew quarters, breakfast on board, and self guided tours the next morning. A truly memorable event for everyone involved!
