Troop 2319 is a Scouts BSA troop located in Marietta, GA. Our scouts are active with Troop, District, & Council events. Our primary mission is to provide a quality and fun scouting program using the traditional Boy Scout methods. We are primarily a youth led organization with meetings, activities, and campouts determined and planned by the youth Senior Patrol Leader and his Patrol Leaders Council.
Shout out and thank you to JoAnne Birrell for taking the time to come to our troop meeting last night!

This weekend, we headed down south of Atlanta to Camp Benjamin Hawkins for a fun fill weekend of inter patrol games and challenges. We arrived a bit after dark, scouts were split up by patrol and instructed to setup their own campsites as they see fit. On Saturday, patrols challenged each other in fire building, a photo scavenger hunt, surprise cobbler making with mystery ingredients, & wix chixin! The day finished off with a quick campfire program put together by Zachary M. & a big closing campfire just before the rain started moving in. Sunday morning was a bit damp, but we scouts got most of the gear put away fairly quickly and we were on the road and headed home before you knew it.

It’s only the first weekend and December is already shaping up to be a very busy month.

It’s been a couple years since we’ve held a Lock-In at Escalade Climbing Gym and boy was it good to be back! Scouts got to learn how to repel, tie some knots for the Climbing Merit Badge, and climb to the point of exhaustion! Between pizza, snacks, and a special birthday treat, scouts were had lots of energy and the perfect way to burn it off, though some of us just played board games all night. This was also our first joint event with Troop 2319-G and it was so so great to see so many different scouts having so much time. What a great overnight event to end the year with.

Just as the sun was going down, the troop packed up to head south to Indian Springs, GA for a biking filled weekend! Although it was pitch black when we arrived, scouts were quick to get their personal gear and troop gear setup so they could gather around a fire before heading to bed. Saturday turned out to be a perfect day with most of the scouts and adults heading out just after breakfast for their 15 mile ride. Getting back sooner than expected just after lunch, scouts split into smaller groups for some additional rides before everyone regrouped for dinner and campfire program put on by Will L. Sunday morning was a cold one, hover just above freezing, but our SPL Michael roused the scouts, to get breakfasts made, gear torn down, and the enormous campsite policed before heading out. What a great trip to a new place! Full Photo Album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/hX2WDzfU82gneCUb6
I think it’s safe to say the troop had an amazing time at Camporall! Saturday started off a little chilly, but quickly warmed up and scouts were able to play board games, practice fire building, ga-ga, fields sports, disc golf, and so much more! Most importantly, we were able to meet some & bond with our friends from Pack1714 & Pack 710 – Marietta, GA! The night ended with a camp wide fire, skits, and flag retirement. Sunday morning was another cold one, but once scouts were up and moving, they tore down camp, attended camp wide interfaith, and finished up by policing our campsite, shower house, and the ga-ga pits for trash and lost items. Camporall is an Foothills District BSA campout, but several of our scouts really stepped up to help make it happen. Shout out to: Michael C: Event SPL along with Charlie (Troop 2019) Xan M: Who lead the camp wide interfaith Jude K: Who did an amazing job playing reveille & taps during the flag retirement in the cold no less Photo Album: https://photos.app.goo.gl/LyS1Q8sZLbUBatcv7
