Troop 208 participated in the Cape Fear District
Camporee held at the historic Bentonville Civil War Battlegrounds. Here
we see Troop 208 lined up for the opening flag ceremony. Flags of the United
States, the State of North Carolina, and the Confederate States were raised
at this time.

| The troop also hiked the historic Bentonville Battlegrounds. For the Camporee, there were almost 30 stations where there were historic trail m4arkers posted. For many of the stations there was a question that had to be answered to get the Historic Trails patch. Here we see Mr. Fairhurst's and Mr. Couture's patrols getting the answers at the first station. | |

We were really out in the countryside. Here we can see a few of Mr. Link's patrol on a "road" that led near a chicken farm. It was a shortcut. | |
