Museum Ships Weekend

This Event helps to bring well deserved attention to the crews who served onboard these fine vessels and also the current crew of volunteers who help to preserve and maintain them. The USS Salem is continuing this tradition of Volunteerism by hosting approx. 6000 Scouts during the course of this year as part of our Overnight Scouting Program.
