Boy Scout Troops should be aware of current road closures on the battlefield. Please see Cavalry and Sherman Roads Construction Project for more details prior to arriving. 

Shiloh National Military Park does not coordinate the Boy Scout hiking program. A scout group out of Memphis, Tennessee, issues hiking packets, grades the materials, and awards patches. You can contact them in a variety of ways:

Confederate Burial Trench  

Did You Know?
In Shiloh’s bloody aftermath, the dead of both armies were hastily buried across the battlefield. The U.S. dead were later re-interred in Shiloh National Cemetery (1866-1868), and the mass graves of Confederate dead preserved through the creation of Shiloh National Military Park in 1894.
