Female Scouts BSA Troop @ Unity North Atlanta
Things weren’t looking too promising when we left on Friday. It was raining, the forecast was calling for bitterly cold temps, but that didn’t deter us! We headed up to @woodruffscoutcamp for a weekend of fun and by the time we arrived, it the rain had already cleared. The scouts got camp setup and we all gathered around a nice warm campfire. Saturday more was as cold as they predicted, but the sun was soon shining and we got spent the morning working on the Geo Caching Merit Badge before splitting into groups to go track down some caches! After a late lunch, with the Geo Caching MB nearly complete, we switched over to the the Eagle Required Emergency Preparedness Merit Badge to help kick start anyone looking to wanted get that one knocked out too. It ended up being a wonderful & relaxing weekend, with lots of time spent around chatting around the all day fire. Excited to see where we end up next!

We had our first Keep Cobb Beautiful Adopt A Mile of the year yesterday, the sun may have been shining, but the blowing wind made this a chilly one. Still, thanks to everyone who came out to help, we were able to get 7+ bags of trash off the streets and properly disposed. Adopt A Miles are always a lot of fun and a great way to give back to the community.
We’ve got a new face! Thank you Pack 1714 for inviting us to take part in your Crossover Ceremony where Arrow of Light Scouts transition from Cub Packs to Scout Troops. We were able to welcome our first crossover to our troop and are looking forward to many more to come! Thank you Lili for allowing us to be part of your scouting journey.

This weekend we headed up to Tennessee for a short hiking and caving trip. We left Saturday morning to do a short hike up to Greeter Falls and have a nice picnic lunch before heading over to spend the night at Cumberland Caverns. After checking in to the cavern, the scouts donned helmets, and crawled through a 14″ by 33″ test box to make sure everyone could make it through the caves. We then took 3 hours to traverse 1.5 miles is cave, climbing over and crawling under boulders, and squeezing through some very tight spaces. We ended the night with a walking tour of the upper Caverns, had some dinner, and slept in the complete darkness of the cave.

We kicked off 2023 with a quick but amazing first campout up at Allatoona Aquatics Base. We arrived just after dark on Friday and quickly setup and turned in for a chilly first night. On Saturday we spent all morning down at the beach helping with the camp’s annual “Day of Fire” where we collected and burned excess driftwood and installed old Christmas Trees as fish habits. It was a lot of fun and a great way to give back to the camp. We finished off the day with a refresher on Totin Chit & Firem’n Chip duties before gathering around a warm fire for the evening. Sunday morning, we packed up, policed our campsite, and headed for home. Overall, the weekend may have been cold, but it was a fun, relaxed, enjoyable weekend for all and we’re already looking forward to our next outing.
