2023-05-12: Watersports Weekend

Posted on
This past weekend had to be one of the most fun weekend outings we’ve done yet! We headed up to Scoutland On Lanier Scout Camp for a weekend of watersports fun. We arrived just before dark and got setup on Friday, but this outing was all about Saturday… Scouts spent all day in kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, swimming, and of course tubing! I don’t think I saw an upset face all day!! But don’t take my word for it, follow the link for the full album as there were just too many pictures to share this time!

Posted on

On Friday, we headed up to Skymont Scout Reservation, a camp we have never been to before, for a weekend of fun and relaxation. The drive was long, but getting see a new camp was great! A few scouts practiced some advancement, everyone spent a good chunk of the day exploring the camp, some went fishing, a few played some disc golf in the afternoon, and a lot of scouts were able to complete their Second Class, First Class, and Camping Merit Badge Cooking Requirements. The weather on Saturday couldn’t have been more perfect, what a great time it is to be out camping!

2023-04-23: Another Northern Tier Prep in the Bag!

Posted on

This past weekend, we had another group of scouts take on a Northern Tier Prep weekend. The weathered severe storms on Friday Night, thankfully the rain was gone by Saturday morning which lead to a near perfect weather. Scouts learned about how to pack the packs used to transport gear at Northern Tier and practiced wet entering & portaging canoes! It looks like they had a great time, thank you Steve Carlin for putting together and running this training for our scouts to get them ready for this summer!

2023-03: Northern Tier Prep Weekend

Posted on
This weekend, several of our scouts and leaders headed up to Allatoona Aquatics Base for a weekend of training and prep work as they gear up for Northern Tier. Everything was practiced, from how to properly enter the canoe, to how to portage a canoe, to carry the gear bag that can weigh in excess of 70lbs. I have to say, it sounds like a lot of work, but if you look at their faces, it looks like they all had a great time!

2023-03-26: Troop Training Campout

Posted on

This weekend was the troop training camp out at Camp Jameson.  For many this was their first-time camping with the troop. The day started with a little rain but our grub masters preserved and had breakfast ready. After breakfast the older scouts set up their classes in the pouring rain.  We were lucky to have a big pavilion to use.  The older scouts taught the Firem’n Chit, Totin Chit, First Aid Kits, Knots, and Flags to the younger scouts.  Many scouts are now ready to move to scout rank.  After classes we played some games in the field and the woodyard was open.  Time quickly passed and it was time for dinner and the campfire program.  Pranav hosted the campfire program which was enjoyed by all.  We then started a game of manhunt which was unfortunately interrupted.  We were notified that severe weather was on the way overnight and we would have to immediately pack up and leave camp.  By 10pm the entire troop was packed and ready to depart.  We headed back to Highland Plaza for a late night unloading of the trailer.  Everyone had a great time despite the campout being cut short.

We also want to quickly shout out Doug P. who decided to use some of his free time to learn about Fire Pistons, made his own char cloth, and was able to actually get a fire started from a Fire Piston. Not an easy task to say the least. Great use of you free time Doug!

Posted on

We had our first Keep Cobb Beautiful Adopt A Mile of the year yesterday, the sun may have been shining, but the blowing wind made this a chilly one. Still, thanks to everyone who came out to help, we were able to get 7+ bags of trash off the streets and properly disposed. Adopt A Miles are always a lot of fun and a great way to give back to the community.

Weekend at Woodruff

Posted on
This weekend we headed to Woodruff Scout Camp to have fun camping and hiking. We arrived late Friday night and set up our campsite. On Saturday some scouts and adults went hiking right after breakfast and many scouts completed their trail cooking requirements for the Cooking Merit Badge. The scouts arrived back around noon right before the rain began. The scouts spent the rest of the day playing games, hanging by the fire, and other scouting activities. On Sunday the scout packed up quickly beating the rain that followed right as we left and we headed home.
