Nassawango Iron Furnace
From 1828-1850 the Nassawango Iron Furnace was in its heyday. Many workers – miners, sawyers, colliers, molders, draymen, and bargemen – labored to make iron. They gathered bog ore from Nassawango swamp, brought clam and oyster shells up the canal via the Pocomoke River from the Chesapeake Bay, and made charcoal in the Pocomoke Forest.
These raw materials were loaded into the Iron Furnace from the top, heated to 3,000 degrees, and the two resulting liquids were drawn off at the bottom of the furnace. Slag was cooled and tossed into the swamp. Iron was poured into molds and loaded onto barges which were towed down the canal by mule to waiting ships for transport to Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York.
Maryland Iron Company
Furnace Town (also called Nescongo or Nasseongo) was a company town, built by the Maryland Iron Company. About 300 people lived and worked here. Families tended gardens, hunted for sustenance, kept house, cooked, and cleaned. Children did chores, went to school (sometimes), and played. Contemporary reports paint a picture of small neat yards and flowers in bloom, amidst the noisy industry. There were blacksmiths, broom makers, wainwrights, wheelwrights, bakers, cobblers, coopers, and weavers among the skilled workers.
By 1850 bankruptcy was declared. The sale advertisement listed 7,000 acres embracing immense beds of iron ore. Included in the offering were the Furnace, the Grist Mill and Saw Mill, the Iron Master’s Mansion, houses, store, barns, buildings, tools, 21,000 bushels of charcoal, and 1,650 tons of ore.
Following the insolvency, all of the residents, previously employed in the service of the Furnace moved away to seek employment. A few families stayed on to run a boarding house and the Grist Mill. By 1929, only the foundations of the buildings and the Furnace remained. All of the wooded structures had rotted away, and the Forest reclaimed the previously bustling worksite.
Restoration work began under the guidance of the Worcester County Historical Society in the 1960’s. In 1982, Furnace Town Foundation Inc. was formed to own, operate, and interpret the museum historic site.
What to Expect: Artisan Tours and Interactive Stations
During your tour, Scouts will have the chance to visit a variety of interactive stations, depending on availability. Stations may include:

The Woodworker’s Shop

The Blacksmith

The Broom Maker

The Weaver

The School House

Each station offers a hands-on approach to learning about the skills and daily lives of the past, making history both educational and fun.

Leaders Retreat: Basic Adult Leader Outdoor Orientation
2025-09-19 17:30 - 2025-09-21 09:00 | Holly Lake Campground, 32087 Holly Lake Rd, Millsboro, DE, 19966, United States
BASIC ADULT LEADER OUTDOOR ORIENTATION (BALOO):
This course is designed as an introduction to the Cub Scout outdoor program for those leaders who are interested in adding a camping component to their Den or Pack activities.
Who should take BALOO?

The BSA requires that you have at least one BALOO-trained adult on every Cub Scout Den or Pack overnight outdoor event.
A BALOO-trained leader should be at any overnighter regardless of whether it is a Pack, District or Council event.
Having at least one BALOO-trained adult will make your Cub Scouts’ camping experience as awesome as it can be; but more is even better!

This Event is for Registered Leaders of Pack One Only, NO YOUTH
Why should I take BALOO?

Leaders who complete BALOO training are better prepared to plan pack den or pack overnight events.
You’ll learn how to make camping activities and outings fun. You’ll discover how to keep your Cub Scouts safe and entertained. And you’ll learn how to plan an event that’s rooted firmly in Cub Scouting’s principles.
Successful experiences in the outdoors make Cub Scouts — and their parents — more likely to keep coming back.

How do I take BALOO?

BALOO consists of two components: online and hands-on. You’ll need to complete both — in order — to qualify as a “Trained” Cub Scout outdoor leader.

Online component: The online portion of BALOO is available 24/7 on the BSA Learn Center. The goal of the online portion is to make the best use of time to allow leaders to experience as much as possible during the practical hands-on training. The online training contains introductory and basic information that will be built upon during the practical training. If you do not present your BALOO online training certificate, they still will have you take part in the BALOO Training, but your training will not be entered as complete.

Rules
Please remember to follow the rules which are included with the car kits:

NO PRE-BUILT PURCHASED DERBY CARS!
The car must not weigh over 5 ounces
Only powdered graphite can be used as lubricant
Cars must be 7” long (length of the original block)
Width between wheels must be 1 3/4” (width of the original block)
A 4 3/8” wheelbase (distance as measured between original block’s axle slots)
All other rules included in the derby kit or at this link.
Derby Cars must be completed & turned in for check in, weigh in & storage Friday February 27th 6pm-8pm at the Holly Lake Campsites.

Any Derby Cars not meeting the rules may be fixed/adjusted & re-tested. If they still fail, they may still race, but no award may be earned.
If you have any specific questions about the rules or derby in general, feel free to email leadership and we will gladly answer your questions.
Very, very basic emergency car repair materials will be available, do not arrive needing extra weight, or graphite.
Please remember that the Pinewood Derby is to be a learning experience for your scouts to build and show their car (as much as age appropriate). Do not purchase a car or race kit. Do not build the entire car for your scout. Neither of those teaches your scout any skills and it is unfair to the other scouts who worked hard on their car.
Back this year we have the Adult Race! Rules are the same for Scouts & Adults. Only $10 to race. Tickets for Adults that are racing & RSVPs for Scouts below. ADULTS JUST WATCHING DON’T NEED TO RSVP.

Cars are weighed, measured at the Pack Level Pinewood Derby, a quick check will be done here too at check in before the race to ensure they meet the standard rules. Races are run on a 4 lane sloped aluminum track, and cars compete in heats, with times recorded electronically. The Top Finisher from each Den will then Race for an overall District Winner!
You don’t need to bring anything special except your Derby Cars & enthusiasm! Families often take photos, encourage their Scouts, and celebrate every run, whether it wins or not. Awards will be given for fastest race times. Most importantly, the Pinewood Derby is about having fun and supporting youth as they show off something they built with pride.
***Scouting America’s Pinewood Derby Car Building Rules***
