Cub Scout Pack 27 of Old Lyme spent the night in the same bunks where Navy sailors in World War II slept as part of a trip to Battleship Cove in Fall River, Mass. on Jan. 28.

Scouts, parents and leaders toured the destroyer “Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr.,” submarine “Lionfish, PT Boats 617 and 796 and the Russian missile corvette “Hiddensee” before sleeping in the bunks of the battleship “Massachusetts.” The trip also included a storyteller, living history presenter, a historical movie and a knot tying class.

Battleship Cove is the world’s largest collection of historic U.S. naval ships and the official memorial for Massachusetts citizens of all branches of the military who lost their lives in World War II, the Korean, Vietnam and Persian conflicts and the Sept. 11 attacks. The trip showed the Scouts the sacrifices made by veterans in all branches and wars.

Pack 27 has operated in Old Lyme for 42 years. Meetings are held at the First Congregational Church of Old Lyme on the third Thursday of each month. For more information, contact Tom Ortoleva at ortoleva.house@gmail.com or Chris Buydos at cjbuydos@comcast.net.
