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. 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.

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

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! — Troop Historian Evan B.

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

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

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

Posted on

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.
