2023-11-05: Hiking, Canoeing, & a New Patrol!

Posted on
This weekend we went canoeing at Woodruff Scout Camp! We were joined by a bunch of new scouts, and even chose the name for a new patrol, the Kelpies! In between canoeing and making our new patrol official with a name, we knocked out a 5 mile hike & ax yard safety and we had three different scout grub masters, one for each meal, finishing up different cooking requirements. After we had an amazing dinner and a delicious dessert, we packed up our kitchen and went to our tents and got to sleep an extra hour because of daylight savings time. Couldn’t ask for a more fun filled weekend!

2023: Halloween Party!

Posted on
With Halloween right around the corner, we celebrated a little early at our meeting last night and wow was it a fun night!! We watched as every scout tried to make it through the spider web while wearing their costumes, had a mummy wrap off, & of course played some games culminating in every scout tracking down a goody bag just for them. So much fun and super excited for next year already!

2023-10: Planning Campout at Allatoona

Posted on
Although the campout this weekend was for planning, that doesn’t mean we didn’t have fun! We were joined by a new scout, who helped cook during the day. After setting up our tents Friday night went to sleep, ate breakfast, and then were promptly exiled from camp to go explore. We visited some of the coves at the edges of Allatoona, before returning to camp for lunch. After eating we were once again exiled until dinner and visited the cliff closest to our campsite. After that we had dinner and banana boats, and then we told stories and sang around the campfire before going to sleep and packing up in the morning.

2023-09: SpaceX Campout

Posted on
This weekend we went to Bert Adams Scout Camp to set off rockets for the space exploration merit badge. After we ate breakfast we constructed the rockets, with the assistance of copious amounts of hot glue. We returned after a break for lunch to make some final repairs before launching our rockets into the sky, some of which promptly returned to the ground in a spectacular fashion. When we weren’t building or launching rockets, we were playing epic games of hangman on each other’s arms and making chainmail. After the day’s excitement we returned to camp and left the following morning.

2023-08: Weekend at the Lake

Posted on
For our August Campout we went tubing on Lake Lanier. After setting up camp and eating breakfast, we went down to the lake for hours of fun. After a short break swimming near the dock and eating lunch, we headed back for more! We ended the day with an epic launch and slightly less epic crash landing off the tube. Other than some mild sunburns, it was a pretty fantastic weekend.

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! We stopped for pizza as 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!!

2023-07: Tubing Trip!

Posted on

This weekend we went on a tubing trip down the Cartecay River, which included a small waterfall towards the end. While on the river almost all of us ended up swimming, although some of us chose to get out of our tubes while others were flipped out of theirs. At some point on the river, one of the scouts lost a shoe, and after some conversation they ended up with one croc and one water shoe before deciding to place the lone water shoe on the wall of “lost soles”. Overall a pretty great weekend!
