The Troop plans to camp monthly from October through May. We will travel out of state for a week of Summer Camp in June. Parents are always invited if they are interested.
At a minimum every Scout always needs close toed shoes and a day pack with water bottle, sun protection, snacks, flashlight, whistle, and personal first aid kit.
The Troop will usually meet at 4:00 p.m. on Friday at Eastminster. Then around 4:30 p.m drive to the campout together. If you are not camping, you drop your Scout in the parking lot with his equipment, then pick up at the end of the weekend. Leaders will send an update with their ETA for pick up time.

Enjoy the Premier Scouting Experience at Woodruff Scout Camp
From blasting through white water to the ability to earn your choice of over 70 different Merit Badges, it’s easy to see why Woodruff has become the premier camp for Scouts BSA across the nation.
Morning at Woodruff is spent knocking out Merit Badge requirements at our class-leading waterfront, nature center, STEM center, Outdoor & Life Skills, Mack Mountain Studios, or shooting sports ranges. In the afternoon, Scouts BSA and their Troops have the opportunity to take on adventure challenges like climbing & rappelling, whitewater rafting, mountain biking, Ga-Ga ball, Kendell Crossing (interpretive programs), and a variety of aquatic activities including BeaverShark Park. Campfires, movie nights, Vespers, Spoof Badge, and new this year - STEM After Dark fill the twilight hours before taps closes out another great day of camp
Located in the north Georgia Mountains, Woodruff ’s natural environment gives you unlimited opportunities for adventure. And our renowned first-year-camper program means that every Scouts BSA will have the time of their life no matter their experience level.
6/20 Saturday we will drive a 17 person van to to Georgia and camp on the way.
