2023-10-15: Providence Canyon
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. Photo Album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ULE7YMyA72SsuGUP7
2023-09-15: SpaceX
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. Photo Album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/D8SLJ1tB8NqxUKBn6
2023-08: Court of Honor
This past Monday, we held our August Court of Honor and it was a big one! This week, we officially recognized and awarded, 45 Rank Advancements, 3 National Outdoor Achievement Camping segment, 8 National Outdoor Award Gold Devices, a Recruiter Strip, 3 Triple Crowns, and 199 Merit Badges! We also recognized our newest OA Ordeal & Brotherhood Members and the fact that we have the most 2023 Dues Paid OA Members of any troop in the entire Atlanta Area Council! All of this has been achieved in just the past 6 months and really goes to show that our scouts never stop moving forwards. They are always working on that next rank, next merit badge, or award. This was an amazing Court of Honor, to all scouts, keep up the good work! Full Photo Album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/UUsgJUBJNz4gqYn46
2023-08-19: More Trail Cooking
Not a weekend goes by that our scouts aren’t out practicing their scout skills! This past weekend several scouts headed out for a quick hike at Red Top Mountain to work on their Trail Cooking for the Cooking Merit Badge. Some lessons were definitely learned about portion sizing, following instruction & planning ahead, and the importance of repackaging food to reduce waste and weight. All said, their meals all looked pretty tasty and we couldn’t have asked for better weather on Saturday morning.
2023-08-13: Ocoee Weekend
For our August campout the troop went to Woodruff for White Water Rafting. Scouts seemed to have an absolutely awesome time Whitewater Rafting on the Ocoee River! While older scouts were busy on the river, two leaders lead our first year scouts in some tree top ziplines! While the weather was hot the water felt refreshing. Some of our first year scouts stayed back at camp and played manhunt. Grubmasters Roman, Brantley, Evan, Ryan, Abhinav made some delicious meals. Everyone had a great weekend! — Mitchell A.

With summer almost over, we’re squeezing in every bit of fun we can! Yesterday we headed up to Glo Crest Dairy, Clermont, Georgia & Mountain Fresh Creamery to learn about dairy farming, work on the Animal Science Merit Badge, and of course get some fresh ice cream & cheese! After our picnic lunch in the park, we headed back to Unity North Atlanta to finish up the MB and have an afternoon of board games and fellowship. Couldn’t ask for a better day!!

2023-05-12: Watersports Weekend
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!
