Carolinas Aviation Museum
August 2nd is our scheduled trip to the Carolinas Aviation Museum. Our tour is scheduled from 10am-Noon. Please plan to arrive about 9:45am. This tour is indoor/outdoor and they ask that you dress for an outside field trip; they recommend shoes and socks – no sandals or flip flops. Since part of the tour is outdoors – if it is raining that day, we may need to reschedule. A pack email will be sent in case of rainout.
For this event, please wear your yellow Pack 97 shirts. Admission for each scout and/or child is $2; adults are admitted free. They do also have a gift shop with items ranging from $.25-$8. There is a picnic ground on site where you can watch the plans take off and land; so please plan to bring a lunch and join us for a picnic after the tour!

Registration is required for this event as a pack and must be submitted by August 1st to receive the rates listed. As this is still part of the summer schedule program; any fees paid by the pack (including each scout ticket) will need to be reimbursed to the pack the night of the event. Please keep in mind that if you register yet are unable to attend; you are still financially responsible for the tickets.
If you are interested in attending, please email Amy at amy@pack97scouts.com with the total number of adults and children and whether you would like the camping & ticket option or ticket only option.
