Boy Scout Troop 797

Shiloh National Military Park

October 1-3, 1999

This year's trip to Shiloh was wonderful. The weather was warm and dry.

We had 16 hikers hiking trails 1, 3, 5 and 7.

The military park and the surrounding area are mostly level.

All the hikers are challenged by the length of the trails and the questions about the Civil War that must be answered.

To recieve the patch for trail 5 the hikers must each read a book about Shiloh and submit a written essay.

Lunch must be packed since the hikes are 14 or more miles and you can't return to camp.

Hundreds of monuments have been placed throughout the park to describe the activities of the North and South during the battle.

Daughters of the American Revolution Monument.

This monumnet is very symbolic of the bravery and sadness of war.

General Johnston Monument.

Johnston died next to the nearby tree stump.

Bloody Pond

Soldiers came to this water hole to clean their wounds. The blood turned the water red.

Missouri monument to the men that fought in the battle at Shiloh.

Scouts (and families) may earn each of these badges by hiking different trails.
