BEAT OF THE DRUM PROGRAM FOR BEARS Visiting Fort Necessity will help Bear Scouts complete two activities as part of the Paws for Action requirement. The scouts will fulfill the visiting a historic site and also learning about a famous American. The scouts could also participate in a guided program that would teach them about the American Indians that lived in the area during the French and Indian War. As part of the program they would make an American Indian craft and have some of the scouts dress in try-on American Indian clothes. This program would last 45 minutes to 1 hour. These are two activities in the Beat of the Drum elective. Dates offered, fees and reservations This Beat of the Drum program is offered Saturdays throughout the year (except mid-April to early June) and Tuesday through Saturday in the summer. The program fee is $20.00 for the first 10 cub scouts and $2.00 for each additional cub scout. Reservations are required. To make a reservation call 724-329-8124 or email the staff.
