The base has a dedicated scout campground where our troop made camp and cooked their meals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wright-Patterson includes the <a href=\"https:\/\/visitnaha.com\/aviation_site\/national-museum-of-the-united-states-air-force-2\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/visitnaha.com\/aviation_site\/national-museum-of-the-united-states-air-force-2\">National Museum of the U.S. Air Force<\/a>, which is the world&#8217;s largest and oldest military aviation museum. The boys explored the history and technology of the Air Force including an A-10 Warthog. Excursions included a 12-mile hike on the Wright Memorial Trail and a visit to the site of the original Wright Brothers Hangar, which was their first flying field beginning in 1904.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You can imagine our surprise when the troop was contacted nearly a year later by government officials to report that there had been a radioactive spill of americum-241 at the base around the same time of their campout!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a half-life of 432 years, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Americium-241\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Americium-241\">americum-241<\/a> is a radioactive material that can be found in nuclear waste and has some industrial purposes in smoke detectors and other manufacturing processes. Workers who decontaminated the spill washed off using a water spigot near the campground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Testing at the camp indicated there was no contamination, but the Air Force arranged for scouts and scouters to be tested by private laboratories. Scoutmaster Robert Gray wasn&#8217;t very concerned, saying that &#8220;the tests are merely a precaution&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photos and memories of the campout were glowing, even if our scouts were not!<\/p>\n\n\n<div  id=\"jtg-98\" class=\"modula modula-gallery modula-creative-gallery\" data-config=\"{&quot;height&quot;:800,&quot;tabletHeight&quot;:800,&quot;mobileHeight&quot;:800,&quot;desktopHeight&quot;:800,&quot;enableTwitter&quot;:false,&quot;enableWhatsapp&quot;:false,&quot;enableFacebook&quot;:false,&quot;enablePinterest&quot;:false,&quot;enableLinkedin&quot;:false,&quot;enableEmail&quot;:false,&quot;randomFactor&quot;:0.5,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;creative-gallery&quot;,&quot;columns&quot;:12,&quot;gutter&quot;:10,&quot;mobileGutter&quot;:10,&quot;tabletGutter&quot;:10,&quot;desktopGutter&quot;:10,&quot;enableResponsive&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;tabletColumns&quot;:2,&quot;mobileColumns&quot;:1,&quot;lazyLoad&quot;:0,&quot;lightboxOpts&quot;:{&quot;animated&quot;:true,&quot;Thumbs&quot;:{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;modern&quot;,&quot;showOnStart&quot;:false},&quot;Toolbar&quot;:{&quot;display&quot;:{&quot;right&quot;:[&quot;close&quot;]},&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;Carousel&quot;:{&quot;Panzoom&quot;:{&quot;touch&quot;:true},&quot;infinite&quot;:false},&quot;keyboard&quot;:{&quot;Escape&quot;:&quot;close&quot;,&quot;Delete&quot;:&quot;close&quot;,&quot;Backspace&quot;:&quot;close&quot;,&quot;PageUp&quot;:false,&quot;PageDown&quot;:false,&quot;ArrowUp&quot;:false,&quot;ArrowDown&quot;:false,&quot;ArrowRight&quot;:false,&quot;ArrowLeft&quot;:false},&quot;touch&quot;:false,&quot;backdropClick&quot;:false,&quot;l10n&quot;:{&quot;CLOSE&quot;:&quot;Close&quot;,&quot;NEXT&quot;:&quot;Next&quot;,&quot;PREV&quot;:&quot;Previous&quot;,&quot;Error&quot;:&quot;The requested content cannot be loaded.
