What a great week at Summer Camp 2025! Despite the rain, the Scouts accomplished over 30 merit badges in just one week.
As there were actual no trips to the health lodge, the Sock Patrol had ample time to practice First Aid and complete various requirements to rank up. Some of the other Scouts in the Troop assisted the Woodruff Camp’s Ranger in a service project to clean up and mulch branches around the campground.
Also, this was Mr. Carlin’s first time at Summer Camp with the Troop, and he thoroughly enjoyed his experience and watching everybody work together and have fun.

Despite the heavy rain on the first night at Camp Westin, almost everyone managed to stay dry. On Saturday, the Scouts learned valuable skills such as first aid, knots, wood chopping, and the ceremony of the flags. Later in the evening, some Scouts built chairs out of rope, while others engaged in a refreshing water war. The Scouts also enjoyed many delicious meals and learned new games.

The March campout took our Scouts to the Scout Challenge at Bert Adams where they joined over 2,000 others Scouters. Despite the weather shortening the camp out by a night, the Scouts enjoyed exploring themed stations offering unique challenges like deciphering secret codes, building survival shelters, or navigating obstacle courses. They also had the opportunity to enjoy team-based and solo quests to earn badges, and unlock hidden achievements, as well as trying new activities such as archery, axe throwing, and much more.

Had a small group of scouts brave the cold last weekend for a quick overnight hike down at Pine Mountain. It was a great hike to learn what you should and should not bring on a backpacking trek, how to cook on a backpacking trek, and of course, the importance of dressing in layers. Weather was great, views were beautiful, everyone had a good time and are looking for more backpacking opportunities in the future!

What better in November than a weekend focused solely on cooking! And more than just that, alternative cooking methods with foods you don’t see as often on campouts. We spent just about the entire day cooking one thing or another, from fresh fried apple fritters, to silver turtle chili dogs, to homemade from scratch bread, it was all delicious!! The scouts capped off the night with songs and jokes around the fire, what a great weekend. Can’t wait to see what recopies scouts come up with on our next campout!

We came, we cleaned, we helped, we learned.. Project Chimps is always a really cool place for a weekend outing. Project Chimps helps care for past research and rescue chimps. While there, we learned a lot about the chimps living there, helped build some new toys for them, and more. What a cool and caring place that we’re happy to help support and care for. Check out some highlights below or follow the link for the full photo album!
