Troop 65 Welcomes Its Newest Eagle Scout!

Tonight, Samuel has earned his Eagle Scout rank, Scouting’s highest achievement!

His commitment to leadership, service, and personal growth exemplifies the values of the Scout oath.

Samuel will next complete a Philmont expedition in a few short weeks.

Congratulations, Samuel!

Troop 65 hit the Nantahala River at the Nantahala Outdoor Center this weekend!

The scouts tackled cold whitewater rapids, had some epic boat battles, and shared the river with trout, thick fog, and a passing coal-powered train.

After drying off, they explored the NOC, shot some hoops, and still weren't done with the water — finishing the day with a free swim at Fontana Lake.

The scouts agreed, this is becoming an annual trip, with bigger rapids on the agenda for next year!

Over the past several weekends, Samuel has been hard at work on his Eagle Scout project, supported by his fellow scouts every step of the way.

He planned, organized, and led the construction of sun shades at Alexander Wilson Elementary — and despite facing some challenges along the way, he pushed through and delivered outstanding results. The finished shades look great, and students will be grateful for the cool relief they provide during the hot months ahead.

Excellent work, Samuel!

Another busy meeting for Troop 65! The Eclipse Dragons patrol presented their flag, we held our OA elections, and scouts got hands-on with some wood chopping.

We capped the night off with one of the Eclipse Dragon scouts earning their Scout rank, and celebrating 6 scouts elected to the Order of the Arrow — they’ll complete their ordeal this summer.

Congratulations to all!

Huge thank you to everyone who helped spread the word and came out to support our troop today!

We had an incredible turnout from our local community—and even a few folks who made the trip all the way from Beaufort, SC. That kind of support means a lot!

We hope you enjoyed the BBQ as much as we enjoyed serving you. Every plate helps fund camping experiences and outdoor adventures for our Scouts!

We’re already looking forward to serving you again next year!

Busy night for the troop! We welcomed our newest patrol, the Eclipse Dragons, and got them started on their Scout rank. Scouts pitched in to clean the chuck boxes from the weekend, restocked our firewood, and celebrated some big achievements—21 merit badges and 1 rank earned. Great work all around!

🏔️ Stone Mountain adventure!

Our Scouts took on a 4-mile hike to the summit at Stone Mountain State Park, scouting out future rappelling spots along the way. They also sharpened their outdoor skills - cooking on trail stoves and starting fires using only flint and steel.

Another successful trip in the books!
