The Christening of the Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78)
Scouts to Participate in Christening an Aircraft Carrier
Submitted by Mike Walsh
On Saturday, November 9, 2013, Newport News Shipbuilding will christen the nation's newest aircraft carrier
Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) during a ceremony on-site where the ship is being constructed. President Gerald R.
Ford was the 38th President of the United States. His daughter, Susan Ford Bales, will serve as the ship's
sponsor, performing the traditional honor of breaking a bottle of American sparkling wine across the ship's bow
during the ceremony. This is both a significant milestone in naval shipbuilding and historical at the same time;
as the Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) is the first of a new class of aircraft carriers, the first new design since USS
Nimitz, which was launched in 1972. This will be a very special event for Boy Scouts of America as well since
President Ford is the only Eagle Scout to be President. To commemorate this accomplishment we have
selected 5 Colonial Virginia Council Eagle Scouts to serve as honorary Color Guard at the ceremony. Aaron
Whitehead -Troop 306; Joseph Hamilton - Troop 275; Christopher Dobyns – Troop 303; Brady Reisch - Troop
226; and Nicholas Adams – Troop 6 will be featured at the opening of the ceremony carrying the National, State,
and the BSA Council flags before an audience expected to number in the thousands. They will be recognized
from the dais and will be covered by a Live Webcast of the event that you may view at www.theFordClass.com
streaming at 11:00 am on November 9th . Scouts from the Colonial Virginia Council have assisted at other Shipyard ceremonies over the years in handing
out flags, programs, and helping to assist with ushering the VIP guests as elevator operators; but this time the
Scouts will be part of the official program. The program includes a processional of 78 US flags (for CVN 78 the
Navy ship designation) to be carried by Scouts and Scouters from both the Colonial Virginia Council and
Tidewater Council; and a large contingent from Michigan representing the President Gerald R Ford Council, BSA
in Grand Rapids vicinity of Michigan. Bob Dawson from Troop 316 in Holland Michigan has a Wood Badge
ticket he is working to complete. He has arranged for a chartered bus trip to Newport News sponsored by Troop
43 arriving on Friday in time to visit the Army Transportation Museum at Ft Eustis and The Mariner’s Museum. After the Christening ceremony ends and they lunch at the Shipyard, the Michigan bus heads to our Council
camp at Bayport Scout Reservation where they will be treated to a tour of the camp and get to witness the
afternoon “Pumpkin Chunkin” event. Camp Staff will serve them dinner before the bus heads back for the
fourteen hour bus trip to Michigan. Commemorative council service patch commissioned by the Shipyard for just
this event..
Update! Below our Colonial Virginia Council Eagle Scouts selected to participate in the Color Guard. This photo
was taken at the christening's rehearsal earlier this week:
L to R: Aaron Whitehead, T 306; Brady Reisch - Troop 226; Nicholas Adams - Troop 6; Joseph Hamilton - Troop 275; and

The Webelos Scouts of Pack 103 of Historic Williamsburg ventured out to the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center to earn their Webelos
Naturalist Activity Badge. They explored and identified wildlife, poisonous plants and discovered unique habitats while hiking along the trail. They practiced
their observation skills and became a “Naturalist” while exploring and understanding that wetlands are valuable lands that support a rich biodiversity of
waterfowl, songbirds, turtles, frogs, fish, and other wildlife. They understand that salt marshes occur along our coastal areas and which are dominated by salt-tolerant plants like cord grass and are greatly influenced by
tides. Among our most productive wildlife habitats, salt marshes are important feeding and nursery areas for fish, shellfish, crabs, and waterfowl.
The Webelos Scouts also studied the four basic parts of any ecosystem, whether aquatic or terrestrial, are:
• A biotic (nonliving) substances (mainly inorganic and organic compounds),
• Producers (largely green plants),
• Consumers (animals), and
• Decomposers (bacteria and fungi).Plants, animals, decomposers, and organics are interdependent with one another.
The Webelos Scouts day would not have been complete until they had their close up encounter with “King” which is a King Snake. They learned that this
snake is widespread in the Coastal Plain and Piedmont of Virginia. It also occurs in the Potomac River drainage in northern Virginia west of the Blue Ridge
Mountains. It inhabits a variety of different habitats, including hardwood forest, mixed pine-hardwood forest, pine forest, abandoned fields, margins of
hardwood swamps and freshwater marshes, and along creeks and streams.
We would like to give a big “Thank you” to Ms. Katherine and the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center for this opportunity.
