On Saturday, May 1, 2004, Troop 1970 scouts spent part of the day on the Ellipse. Thanks to Bill Martin for the photos. Click on image to make it larger.

Our scouts had the opportunity to use the broad sword, and maybe learn a little about the history of sword fighting.	Looks like another fun game that requires balance and dexterity.
I hope that someone did not get "hammered" with those giant hammers!	In case you cannot read it, the ribbon says "Scouting on the Ellipse Today's Scouts - Tomorrow's Leaders UNIT PARTICIPATION"
