The Founding Fathers' Games

We will be camping with George Mason at his home, Gunston Hall, to meet the challenges of America’s Founding Fathers – George Washington, George Mason, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock, Paul Revere. Thomas Paine, and John Adams.

We will compete in some of the games they played as boys – such horse shoes and marbles to name a few – and pass some of the challenges they had as founding fathers – George Washington’s surveying, Thomas Jefferson’s explorations, George Mason protecting our rights, Benjamin Franklin flying his kite, John Hancock making his signature big enough to be seen, Paul Revere getting the message through, eating John Adams' Johnny Cakes, and more.

Troops, Crews, and Varsity Teams - erect a 10-15 foot flagpole, without digging holes, and fly an historic Founding Father's Flag to earn points.

We also will have a chance to tour the mansion and learn more about George Mason.

See you at Roundtable to lay the foundations for a great Founding Father’s Camporee.
