The Valley Forge Pilgrimage and Encampment is the oldest annual scouting event in the world.[1] It was first held on February 22, 1913 (George Washington's 181st birthday), and has been held every year since.[2] The event is hosted by the Cradle of Liberty Council and commemorates the soldiers of the Continental Army who braved the winter of 1777-78 at Valley Forge. Each year more than 2,000 brave the winter chill of the Delaware Valley to participate.
