In February, Troop 4 ventured to Ft. Gibson, located roughly at the end of the Cherokees' Trail of Tears at Tahlequah. It is the oldest town in Oklahoma, established in 1824. Fort Gibson was founded by Colonel Matthew Arbuckle. A replica of the original fort still stands at the original historic site. Despite the frigid conditions, the scouts had a great time re-enacting life in the early 1800's at the Fort. Can anybody say "Polar Bear Patch"?!
