Troop 2319 is a Scouts BSA troop located in Marietta, GA. Our scouts are active with Troop, District, & Council events. Our primary mission is to provide a quality and fun scouting program using the traditional Boy Scout methods. We are primarily a youth led organization with meetings, activities, and campouts determined and planned by the youth Senior Patrol Leader and his Patrol Leaders Council.
Troop 2319 spent a great weekend at Camp Westin working on the Wilderness Survival Merit Badge! We worked on different methods to make fire, making shelters, and just had a great time camping! The weather was great, and everyone had a great time! Don’t miss out on the next campout!

Day 1:
Troop 2319 made it to Woodruff in one piece and was right on time for check-ins. Because we had already submitted all of our medical forms we were able to quickly make it to camp orientation. This year we were lucky and got Michael and Cole for orientation.We finished quickly got to our campsite. Setting up camp went smoothly and we were able to enjoy dinner before leaving for the opening campfire ceremony. Sadly, we never made it to the amphitheater before it started raining so hard that it was canceled. Our troop recovered though and got a good night of sleep before the first day of camp.
This past weekend we had a wonderful time at the Allatoona aquatics base. We had perfect weather and we got to use kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards! Thank you to our grub masters for making great food and shout out to Elisiah who stepped up to be a grub master because we were short a grub master. We also made great time getting out of the campsite on Sunday. The weekend could not have had a better weekend!

For our April Campout, we heading to one of our old stomping grounds, Chickamauga Battlefield! Chickamauga is a really cool place with a ton of history and some easy hiking for a good shake down distance hike. In the morning we explored and battlefield and monuments and the afternoon was filled with kubb, axe yard, and relaxation. Pretty great trip as we get closer to summer!

Did you miss our March Campout? Here’s a recap! We went up to Bert Adams to enjoy the outdoors. Our scouts had a great time practicing essential scouting skills such as fire building, tool safety, and flag handling and raising. The rain on Friday night was not the best addition to the camp out but our scouts worked together to put up tents under the pavilion and carry them out into the rain. The camp out was a success and our scouts had an amazing time.

This past Monday, we had our first Court of Honor of 2024 and boy was it jam packed! In just that last 6 months, our scouts have earned 37 merit badges, completed 33 rank advancements, we have 5 new eagle scouts, 11 other awards, plus 3 Foothills District Good Eggs. Our previous SPL Xan, also passed the leadership torch on to our new SPL Devin and the entire new leadership team was sworn in. Congratulations to all the scouts on all you’ve accomplished and thank you to the entire Troop 2319 Advancement Team, putting together a court of honor takes a lot of work and we really appreciate all you all do.

A select group of scouts took advantage of the break in the rain over the weekend to meet up for their latest in a series of prep hikes as the get ready to head to Philmont this summer!
We had our first successful #KeepCobbBeautiful Adopt A Mile over the weekend! It may have been a little chilly, but sometimes the job still has to get done. Thanks everyone who came out. We didn’t collect that many bags of garbage this time, but that’s actually a good thing because it means that thanks to our efforts, the road is staying cleaner and cleaner!

Last weekend, Troop 2319 went cold weather camping at Bert Adam’s Scout Camp. We had lots of fun exploring in the woods, playing games, and making ropes. Everybody enjoyed the warm fire and great food in the freezing cold weather. We look forward to our next hopefully warmer camp out!

We kept our tradition alive with our annual lock in at Escalade, and boy what a fun night! Scouts were climbing, racing, playing games, & of course snacking until far later than I think several of our adults had hoped. Escalade is definitely always a highlight for our scouts and I’m sure we’ll be back again next year!

Wondering what scouts were up to while we were off for Thanksgiving? Well I can’t tell you what every scout did, but I can tell you that we had SIX scouts head down to Bert Adams Scout Camp for the week to attend National Youth Leadership training (NYLT)! Nice job Mason, Mitchell, Justin, Kai, Nikolas, & Trevor. We’re excited to see you apply your new skills and training around the troop.
Last night, we held our annual Halloween Party and wow did we have some great costumes! It’s always so much fun to see everyone’s creativity and especially to see how the manage to participate in the games while in costume.. Boy was that spider web crawl a challenge for some of them! Between fun games, great snacks, & of course prizes, who could ask for a better night.
Hope everyone has a very Happy Halloween tonight!
