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. Day 2: The first day of Merit badge classes! Today the scouts had their first badge sessions of the week. They got to meet their instructors and make many new friends. After a great filling dinner some scouts went to an Appalachian folkfest and a select group of scouts canoed across Lake woodruff to go hammock camping. Day 3: Today we had perfect weather with a high of 81 degrees Fahrenheit and a low of 49 degrees Fahrenheit. The scouts who went for the canoe overnighter made it to the dining hall just in time for breakfast. After dinner the OA had their ice cream social and there and at the amphitheater there was the spooffinator. Day 4: Today was a beautiful day with a few clouds and a ton of sunshine. It was hot day but everyone was drinking water and staying cool. We are on track to be successful in earning honor patrol and scout tradition. After dinner there was an interfaith service at the chapel and flag retirement at the amphitheater and back at camp Doug made a spectacular fire and followed all the fire safety regulations. Overall we had a great day. Day 5: Today troop 2319 was in cheerful spirits because merit badges are almost done and in few days we’ll be heading home. It looks like we are going to finish honor patrol and scout tradition with the hard work from Devin and his ASPLs. Tonight we have open boating led by our ASM, Avery Shumpert. We are all set for a great last day tomorrow. Day 6: The final day of camp! Today everyone finished up their merit badge classes for a successful week of camp. After lunch Mr. Lair and Will Ballenger participated in the mile swim. Then our troop travelled around camp to compete in the camp wide games. Camp was ended with a closing campfire ceremony and a ton of fun skits. Historian – Will B. Full Photo Album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/LHdsSCiExXKTjwbVA

Scouting Continues! We have had many scouts make great progress in their scouting journey and we wanted to share these achievements with you all. Today we congratulate Aayan S for earning his Scout Rank! Well done Aayan! #ScoutingContinues Part of our tradition for new scouts in our troop is that they receive a solid purple neckerchief. Once they reach scout rank they trade that in for the Troop neckerchief with the Troop logo!
On 2/3/19 our Troop 2319 celebrated a very special Scout Sunday service with our Chartered Org Unity North Atlanta. The Troop assisted with the service providing a color guard, opening prayer, and shared the Scout Oath & Law with the congregation. After the service we gathered for fellowship with the members of Unity and enjoyed great conversations about scouting! Check out some of the pictures from the event.
A small group of brave and intrepid scouts and scouters took a brisk 19 mile trek along sections of the Appalachian and Benton Mackaye Trails as part of the backpacking Merit Badge. Rain, cold, and snoring campers did not keep this group from having a great time along the way.
Troop 2319 had an amazing trip to Cohutta Georgia for our first official Troop Campout! 24 boys and a great set of leaders spent the weekend in North Georgia fishing, touring a Sturgeon hatchery, learning to fly fish and most importantly having fun!
