2024-12: Backpacking at Pine Mountain

Posted on

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! Full Photo Album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ecxdD7vXJpQUWrKs7

2024-11: Cookapalooza

Posted on

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.

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! Photo Album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/PfDctVWtPJjdLq549 Will B. Troop Historian

2024-03-22: Troop Training Campout

Posted on

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. Will B. Troop Historian Full Photo Album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/VvzdXoeQACo1rRFa9

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.

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!  

Eagle Project

Eagle Proj: Kenric N.

My eagle project was to build two storage bins for Simpson Middle School. They will be used to store sports equipment and other equipment that the school would like to keep outdoors. There were 15 scouts and 6 adult leaders who were present. It was a cold windy day but every scout braved the weather and put in their best effort. We made 2 teams, each building 1 storage bin to optimize time. Everything went smoothly and fine. we had a small challenge with the slow closing hinge but with the guidance and expertise of the leaders we were able to complete the build. Thanks everyone who came out to help! — Kenric N. Full Photo Album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ipziRYRmQ6TZTrej7

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.

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.
