Boy Scouts of America

Saratoga National Historical Park participates in the Boy Scouts of America's National Historic Trails Program. Scouts hiking our historic Wilkinson Trail as part of a Scout unit function can earn a Trail Patch. 

Completing additional requirements allows Cub Scouts to also earn a Trail Pin; additional requirements for Boy Scouts allows them to earn an additional Trail Medal.

PDF versions of the Cub Scout Leaders' Packet (file size: 658 kb) and the Boy Scout Leaders' Packet (file size: 715 kb)are available as downloadable documents.

Girl Scouts of America

Saratoga National Historical Park also participates in an award program through the Girl Scouts of America. By completing a series of activities, based on their level in the program, Girl Scouts can earn a Saratoga National Historical Park Award Patch.

A PDF version of the Activity Sheet is available as a downloadable document (file size: 83.1 kb).

Did You Know?
Not all American soldiers during the Revolutionary War used dark blue uniforms trimmed with red. Some did, but a number of different colors were in use. Some of the German soldiers at the Battles of Saratoga also wore dark blue uniforms. Think it could be confusing sometimes?
