Female Scouts BSA Troop @ Unity North Atlanta
To kick off back to school, we held our annual multi unit picnic to get together folks from Pack 1714, Troop 2319-B, Troop 2319-G, and crew 2319! It was hot but great afternoon with food, fellowship, and a few prospective new scouts who came out for a visit. What a great way to “fall” back into scouting.

For July, we packed up and headed on a bit of longer trip than usual. Instead of one of our local camps, we headed all the way to St. Louis! We found a great local camp, Camp Warren Levis, with an amazing ranger. It was hot, but that didn’t stop us from enjoying the St. Louis Zoo, St. Louis Art Museum, Gateway Arch, Historic Court House, and the pièce de résistance, the St. Louis City Museum!
Absolutely everyone should plan a visit to the City Museum, they have caves, and tunnels, and multi story slides, and aquarium, and school bus on the roof, and airplanes, and a skateless skate park, and excavators, and basically anything and everything you’ve ever wanted to climb in, on, or over! A seriously amazing place for youth AND adults. A safe place where scouts (with their buddies) could disappear through a crack in the wall or the floor and suddenly pop out two stories up! So incredible, the picture do NOT do it justice. The fact that we were in this eleven story building from opening (10am) to dinner time (7:30pm) and the scouts never got board and could have stayed longer had it been open longer says a ton..

Summer Camp was absolutely amazing this year! We headed back to one of our favorite camps (Woodruff) and hung out with some amazing scouts, including a few scouts from another unit that decided to join us for the week! The rain was absolutely torrential in the beginning of the week, but by Wednesday, it had cleared up and shaped up to be just about perfect. Couldn’t ask for a better week with a better bunch of scouts.

Last weekend, our scouts went to Camp Comer to work on the camping and climbing merit badges! In the morning, the scouts did several climbs and rappels of the camp’s 38′ climbing tower. They also learned new knots, as well as how to belay and back-up belay. After lunch, the scouts wrapped up their requirements and learned to use an ascender to get up the tower. For the rest of the afternoon, the scouts took a short trip to DeSoto State Park before wrapping up the evening with a great meal and a beautiful fire. What a fantastic weekend and a gorgeous campground!

Last weekend, our scouts went down to Flint River Council for the Fayette Spring Camporee! Alongside Troop 6250, we played games on scout skills like orienteering, fire building, and first aid. Afterwards, our scouts went on a scavenger hunt to find clues to locate the missing Coca-Cola syrup and defeat Dr. Defizz. At nightfall, we left for the night ops activity, where scouts had to complete different stations around the camp to secure secret information for Lord Baden-Powell. A great time, and an all-around amazing weekend! #scouting #funwithfriends #camping

So proud of all our scouts, and thank you to everyone for helping support the troop. Oh, oh! And one more thing, we have new youth leadership! They’re gonna rock it these next six months, can’t wait for you to meet them.

Fun at the aquarium!
This weekend our scouts went to the aquarium overnight! First we walked over to the gift shop our scouts spent about 30 minutes there! Then our scouts were waiting by the doors for it to open so we could see the fishes when we got in we had to check in when we all got checked in we played a game called predator and prey! After that we got to get a tour around the aquarium lastly we got to sleep with the fishy’s.
