Boy Scout Troops should be aware of current road closures on the battlefield. Please see Cavalry and Sherman Roads Construction Project for more details prior to arriving. 

Shiloh National Military Park does not coordinate the Boy Scout hiking program. A scout group out of Memphis, Tennessee, issues hiking packets, grades the materials, and awards patches. You can contact them in a variety of ways:
