Back in the mid-90s, Our Boy Scout troop made the trip to Mobile and spent the night on board the Alabama. When everybody else leaves for the night, you have time to poke around and see stuff that ain't on the regular tour. 
It was a great experience. But, I don't think they do overnights anymore.

I think the USS Lexington based out of Corpus Christie still does overnights for scout groups.Back in the mid-90s, Our Scout troop made the trip to Mobile and spent the night about the Alabama.

It does. Back when my son was in Cub Scouts, we did the overnight on the Lexington. It was a blast! And it is said the ship is haunted. That kept the hair up on the boy's necks all night long! lol
