Our final high adventure trip of the year took scouts to Raven Knob Scout Reservation for a weekend of ATV riding through the mountains and the mud. We went fast. We got dirty. We had fun!
ATV Weekend Dec 2025
Summer Camp 2025
This year we went to Cherokee for summer camp and it was a fantastic week of fun, skills, water-sports, horses, and so much more! Some of our scouts even learned to weld! When it comes to summer camp, this is one event you don’t want to miss!
Whitewater Rafting May 2025
The second day of our high adventure trip took us to the rushing waters of the French Broad River. Thanks to our incredible guide at French Broad Adventures, we had an amazing run down the Class III-IV rapids, and always felt safe and prepared. This is definitely another one we will want to revisit in the future!
Canyoneering May 2025
Troop 2019 kicked off it’s first local high adventure outing with an amazing trip to Pisgah National Forest, where Scouts hiked out into the forest and rappelled down a 200ft tall waterfall! It was a little scary, but we had an adrenaline-pumping good time! This ended up being a big hit that we are sure to do again!
Chloe M.
On November 16, 2024 Chloe completed her Eagle Project which consisted of building a pergola and digging and pouring concrete footings to support it. Chloe completed her Eagle Board of Review on December 11, 2024 earning her the rank of Eagle Scout.
Cooking Campout
Throughout this campout, we worked on requirements for the Eagle-required Cooking merit badge. We discussed the health and safety requirements of the merit badge and completed all of the camp cooking requirements.
Klondike Campout
We went to Raven Rock in early January and stayed in cabins. This campout is an annual competition between patrols and we play games inspired by the Klondike dog race. We saw which patrol could pull the dogsled the fastest, tried to create strong structures using lashings, and saw who could cook the best food.
Summer S.
On July 22, 2023 Summer completed her Eagle Project in which she restored a playground fence, cleaned gutters and a parking lot, and restored a water drain at Mariposa School for Children with Autism. Summer completed her Eagle Board of Review on October 14, 2023 earning her the rank of Eagle Scout.
“For my project I will help clean up the Mariposa School for Children with Autism. Scouts and adults will clean out gutters on the roof by hand and with tools. Many of the school’s groundwater drains are loose and improperly placed. Scouts will clean them out and secure them with 1/4″ PVC trim and caulk. Adults and older scouts will replace broken boards in the fence. Adults and older scouts will clean up parking lines with a power washer. My project will benefit the Mariposa School for Children with Autism. I will provide some overdue maintenance and repair. This will make a safer and more restored environment at the school.” – Summer S.
Arshia K.
On September 1, 2023 Arshia completed her Eagle Project in which she led scouts and adults to build a planting station at Holly Springs Food Cupboard. Arshia completed her Eagle Board of Review on October 14, 2023 earning her the rank of Eagle Scout.
“My project is a Rinsing table for the Holly Springs Food Cupboard. It will be used to wash, dry, and package vegetables that the food cupboard grows. It has two sinks, a screened area for drying, and two countertops on either side for packaging. It also has a lot of space for storage, including a 12-foot shelf under the table, a 6-foot shelf on top, and some hooks. The sink can be covered so the tabletop can also be used for storage. This will help the food cupboard stay organized. There is a drainage system attached to the sinks which lets water out into the back instead of damaging the surface. This table is beneficial for the food cupboard because it will make the process of packaging food very easy. Since this table has stations for each step, the process will be a lot faster and can allow multiple people to work on it. It will increase efficiency and hopefully the amount of people they can help by distributing food.” – Arshia K.
Yannick A.
On […], 2023 Yannick completed her Eagle Project which included building trail bridges to help prevent harmful erosion at the Agape Kure Camp. Yannick completed her Eagle Board of Review on Oct 14, 2023 earning her the rank of Eagle Scout.
