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.
A select group of scouts took advantage of the break in the rain over the weekend to meet up for their latest in a series of prep hikes as the get ready to head to Philmont this summer!
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!

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!

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!

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.
Last night, we held our annual Halloween Party and wow did we have some great costumes! It’s always so much fun to see everyone’s creativity and especially to see how the manage to participate in the games while in costume.. Boy was that spider web crawl a challenge for some of them! Between fun games, great snacks, & of course prizes, who could ask for a better night.
Hope everyone has a very Happy Halloween tonight!
Had an awesome time at Unit North Atlanta’s trunk or treat last Friday. It was so much fun getting to see so many people out in costume having an great night out and the weather could not have been better! If this year was any indication, next year’s Trunk or Treat is going to be amazing!
Thanks everyone who came out to our #KeepCobbBeaturif Adopt-A-Mile yesterday! The weather was just about perfect and you helped collect a ton of trash and kept it out of entering the storm water system, nice work!
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.

The weekend, we headed to Bert Adams for a weekend of rocket launching! We had a ton of fun building our rockets on Saturday Morning with the help of copious amounts of glue. After lunch it we returned to the field to see who’s would go the highest. Some went more sideways than up, and the weather moved in until we were eventually launching it what was clearly rain, but it was still a fantastic afternoon! Huge shout out and thank you to our RSOs for the weekend Mr. Kolluri & Mr. Leftwich who braved the rain and kept helping scouts get their rockets off the ground regardless of the weather! We finished up by policing the field to collect the dozens of spent rocket motors and headed back to our campsite for a evening of good food and campfire program. Despite the rain, it was still a pretty awesome weekend.

While some scouts were out hiking practicing their trail cooking, Will L. lead a separate group of scouts in the building of 8 wooden benches to be installed at Allatoona Creek Park. It looks like everyone worked together to get these benches knocked out and we can’t wait to see some pictures of them fully installed!
