Pack 313 will be holding our annual sleepover at Battleship Cove in Fall River, MA from Saturday, April 1 to Sunday, April 2, 2023. We’ll get to visit everything at the site (including four Naval ships and a submarine), sleep on the USS Massachusetts battleship on real sailors’ racks (bunk beds), and get served dinner and breakfast on the ship. Everyone in the family who is at least five years old is invited. The program we’ll be attending is called Nautical Nights. Since April is a popular month for Battleship Cove, we need to pay now to reserve up to the 100 remaining places. The cost is $75 per person, the same price for children and adults. They alert us that even though the ship has heat and air conditioning, since it’s all metal, it can get very cold or hot. In April, we assume that means to wear or bring warm clothes. We’re asked to arrive on Saturday at 3 pm. Sunday breakfast should start at 7 am. After that, you can stay to explore some more or go home. More 2023 details about Nautical Nights are here, and the program was also profiled in Scouting Magazine. Also see the parking map.

If you can’t join us for the night, you can still meet the Pack there. General admission (for Saturday, April 1) is from 9 am to 4 pm. If you visit Battleship Cove on that day, you can explore the boats as much as you want on Saturday and then look for our Pack families from 2 to 4 pm when we first arrive.

To make a payment to reserve your places, pay by check or below, where you can select the number of people from the pull-down list and click the “Pay Now” button. You will be taken to a secure page hosted by PayPal where you can enter your credit card information. You do not need a PayPal account to make a payment. If you need to pay for a larger family than four people, you can simply pay more than once.  Payment is due January 8, 2023, when the Cubmaster will send our final count and pay for our reservation.
