Scout History Trail Procedures for Boy/Girl Scouts

Looking to earn patches for your scout group? Appomattox Court House NHP offers a Scout History Trail Service Project. The scout service project includes picking up trash and debris on the park's History Trail and answering questions about the history and natural resources in those areas.

To complete the Scout Patch Program scouts must hike a 4.5 mile trail completing questions within the village and the trail. The service project, trail, and questions will take around 6 hours to complete.

The park has four patches available upon project completion: Boy Scout, Girl Scout, Cub-Webelo Scout Patch, and Brownie-Junior Scout Patches.

To schedule a scout group to visit the park, please call 434-352-8987 ext. 226 or email to [e-mail].

Safety and additional information

Due to traffic on route 24, the park does not recommend walking on or across the road. When starting the trail you must drive to Lee's Headquarters Wayside and hike from there to the North Carolina Monument Wayside. We recommend bringing two cars (if possible), one to drop off the scouts and one to pick them up at the end of the trail.
