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.
Cooking Campout
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.
Backpacking at Eno river
Last weekend from Friday June 10th to Sunday, June 12th troop 2019 went backpacking at Eno river state park! we crossed a wobbly bridge to get over the river and ended up hiking 6 miles! we also helped the environment by picking up trash along the river. While we picked up trash we identified plants as well as animals, had lunch, learned how to filter water and took five gallons back to the campsite! it was so heavy that to make it easier we built an A- frame. We had an amazing time!
Campfire night!
On campfire Night, our troop went to camp Durant. we watched funny skits, found out the winner of the cooking competition and had a tap out ceremony! we also gained some new QA members doubling the group in size!
AOL crossover
On Tuesday, Scout Troop 2019 went to the AOL crossover and we received a new scout!
White Water Center – Rafting Adventure!
Scouts from Troop 2019 got to visit the McDowell nature preserve 30 minutes away from our meeting place, unfortunately we were unable to do some of the activities due to rainy weather, but we arrived just in time and were still able to do rafting and have fun.
ILST leadership training!
Troop 2019 and Troop 320 came together at Mr. Traylor’s farm. The Star and above scouts presented newer scouts with fun games and activities that prepared them for leadership and by the end of the weekend all the scouts were ready to take on their leadership roles.
Philmont
After over a year and a half, Philmont is finally here! Philmont is one of BSA’s high adventure outings where scouts go backpacking in the backcountry of New Mexico’s Rocky Mountains for 12 days. We had 5 scouts and 4 scoutmasters go and they returned with many stories to tell about their adventures, the animals they saw, and some of the weather they encountered!
July 4th
July 4th is coming! To help serve the communinty the scouts volunteered to help place American flags around town!
Car Wash
Saturday morning from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm scouts hosted a car wash station at Sunrise UMC. Scouts started off with washing the Scoutmaster’s car and the pace quickly picked up as passerby’s started to come. Scouts had a great time and a good laugh rotating through the stations and raised lots of money for the troop through donations! A big thank you to pizza for providing us with lunch!
