The Troop 820 tradition is to go on a City Trip every January. In past years, the Troop has gone to Washington, Atlanta, Baltimore, Norfolk, Charleston, and other cities. In 2025 we visited Knoxville and Oak Ridge in Tennessee. Scouts learned about science, energy, the history of the Manhattan Project and East Tennessee, women's basketball. We also went to the zoo, a movie theater, an arcade, and the world's largest knife store.

La tradición de la Tropa 820 es hacer un Viaje Urbano cada enero. En años anteriores, la Tropa ha ido a Washington, Atlanta, Baltimore, Norfolk, Charleston y otras ciudades. En 2025, visitamos Knoxville y Oak Ridge en Tennessee. Los Scouts aprendieron sobre ciencia, energía, la historia del Proyecto Manhattan y del este de Tennessee, y el baloncesto femenino. También fuimos al zoológico, a un cine, a una sala de juegos recreativos y a la tienda de cuchillos más grande del mundo.

Troop 820 recently spent an unforgettable week at Camp Daniel Boone in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina! 🏕️ The Scouts had a fantastic time rafting the Nantahala river, bonding around the campfire, and soaking up the sunshine (and occasional rain) with mostly cool weather all week long. ☀️🚣‍♂️

Many memories made, skills learned, and friendships strengthened. It was a great adventure in the outdoors! 🌲💪

In December 2024, Troop 820 braved the cold weather to have a Fire Campout at Camp Cherokee. All the cooking was over open fires (no charcoal or stoves). Competitions taught fire-starting, safety, and cooking. There was an even split in the cooking competitions: Scorpion patrol won the best lunch (pie iron quesadillas), Dragons won the best dinner entree (the Troop 820 classic Dragon Lo Mein), Scorpions won best dessert (pineapple upside-down cake), and Dragons won best breakfast (chocolate chip pancakes). The Dragons won three of the fire contests, and the Scorpions won one.

Troop 820 enjoyed a wonderful campout at Vista Point at Jordan Lake this past weekend. We hosted Arrow of Light Scouts from Pack 820 and Pack 39 for a day of fishing, lunch, and boating (canoeing and kayaking). The fall weather was ideal, with chilly mornings and warm afternoons. On Sunday morning Scouts competed in teams on a short orienteering course and trash pick-up. Winners of the dinner and dessert cooking awards were the Dragon Patrol (cook Eliza B) for penne with shrimp in pink sauce with salad and the Cobra Patrol (cooks Luke V and Drew H) with a Dutch oven cake.

Troop 820 had an outstanding campout at Cape Lookout National Seashore this weekend. We had a beautiful oceanfront campsite and ideal weather (in that there was no hurricane, it was never too hot, and there was enough rain or wind to keep bugs to a minimum). After a ferry ride and a rainy lunch, the Scouts all enjoyed playing in the ocean, games, cooking, and a traditional Troop 820 campfire. The rain stopped mid-afternoon and the sun came out. Winners of the dinner and dessert cooking awards were the Dragon Patrol (cook Robert H) for pineapple shrimp and rice with green beans and the Barracuda Patrol (cook Bryce B) for chocolate chip Dutch oven brownies (with optional Skittle gummy topping)

Our Barracuda and Cobra Patrols earned the Honor Patrol Award and Troop 820 was one of only three Troops to earn the Honor Troop Award. We were happy to have several Scouts attending their first Scout summer camp or their first summer camp with our Troop!

Our first year Scouts learned lots of Scouting skills around camp, learning knots, first aid, cooking, plant identification, and other camping skills. New and veteran Scouts enjoyed a wide variety of Scouting activities and adventures and earned Merit Badges!
