2024-02: Fort Moore

This past weekend, Troop 2319 had a great time at military base Fort Moore. We learned about how dedicated Fort Moore is to honoring soldiers. The rain wasn’t a great addition to the campout, but it didn’t dim our spirits, and we had an amazing time. I can’t wait to see if we can go back for another great experience next year! Evan B.

2024-01-21: Bert Adams Campout

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! — Troop Historian Evan B.

2023-12-02: Escalade

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! Full Photo Album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/m64GFxAXnPDoxvsj8

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.

2023-11-05: Weekend at Woodruff

Had a great & relaxed weekend at Woodruff Scout Camp! It might have been a little chilly, but we still had tons of fun and scouts got a lot accomplished. Some scouts knocked out a 5 mile hike, some finished up their camp cooking, others spent the afternoon in the ax yard, a few went fishing, and a couple even completed their trail cooking! We finished up the day with a warm campfire with skits & songs. Couldn’t ask for better. Full Photo Album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/tsohnPtWdUSM3C497

Between fun games, great snacks, & of course prizes, who could ask for a better night. Hope everyone has a very Happy Halloween tonight!

2023-10-15: Providence Canyon

Last weekend, the troop headed south of Atlanta to Providence Canyon and wow, what a cool place!! We got there pretty late and setup in the dark, but when the sun rose on Saturday, it was clear just how amazing this place is. We hiked the rim and down into the canyon, learned a ton about how it formed, and even had some time in the afternoon to play games and relax. Word don’t do it justice, take a look at the highlights and head to the link to see all the amazing pictures from this campout. Photo Album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ULE7YMyA72SsuGUP7

2023-08-19: More Trail Cooking

Not a weekend goes by that our scouts aren’t out practicing their scout skills! This past weekend several scouts headed out for a quick hike at Red Top Mountain to work on their Trail Cooking for the Cooking Merit Badge. Some lessons were definitely learned about portion sizing, following instruction & planning ahead, and the importance of repackaging food to reduce waste and weight. All said, their meals all looked pretty tasty and we couldn’t have asked for better weather on Saturday morning.

2023-08-13: Ocoee Weekend

For our August campout the troop went to Woodruff for White Water Rafting.  Scouts seemed to have an absolutely awesome time Whitewater Rafting on the Ocoee River! While older scouts were busy on the river, two leaders lead our first year scouts in some tree top ziplines! While the weather was hot the water felt refreshing.  Some of our first year scouts stayed back at camp and played manhunt. Grubmasters Roman, Brantley, Evan, Ryan, Abhinav made some delicious meals.  Everyone had a great weekend! — Mitchell A. Troop Historian Photo Album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/JNYPBepBc6U81MTP8

Could we have had a busier weekend? After the creamery & Animal Science MB on Friday, Scout Picnic on Saturday, we still had scouts itching for more and went on a whopping 22 Mile Mountain Bike Ride for the Cycling Merit Badge on Sunday!

With summer almost over, we’re squeezing in every bit of fun we can!
