Forks of the Delaware 1776 Klondike                                                            

By request of the supreme Commander of the Continental  Army, all Patriots of the thirteen Colonies are

ordered to muster their Units and report for duty to;

 

      “Trexler Scout Reservation, Akelaland,”   February 2-4- 2018  

                       Jonas Pa. - Minsi Trails Council. 

 

    Break out the wigs and sleds to  prepare your Units to demonstrate their Scouting skills for the Commander and Chief.  Yes,‘These are the times that try men’s souls’ (Thomas Paine) and I wish to have no connection with a sled that does not move fast; for I intend to go into harm’s way. (John Paul Jones). And “Give me liberty or give me death”,(Patrick Henry).

 

Now let us shew the King we are serious about Liberty and Independence and that we  have what it takes to be free men and women in this land we call the,

                             “United States of America”.
