What an amazing weekend!

We had a blast at Six Flags great adventure, and made even more great memory staying at Quail Hill scout reservation.

Huge, thanks to the amazing camp master and everyone who help make the campground experience so enjoyable.

Great rides, great camping, and great friends. Couldn’t ask for a better weekend!

What an incredible weekend at Camp Rodney! The Frontier Campsite gave us the perfect setting for an amazing trip with absolutely beautiful weather.

We welcomed some new scouts who jumped right in—learning lashings, trying their skills at the rifle range, and mastering fire-building like pros. It’s always awesome to see that kind of enthusiasm and teamwork!

And let’s talk about the FOOD… we’ve got some seriously talented cooks in this group! Every meal was a highlight.

Weekends like this are what scouting is all about—learning, growing, and making great memories together. Already looking forward to the next adventure!

A few years ago, we started going to the Klondike Derby down at Henson. These pictures are from our first time there and we are getting ready to go again this weekend. The kids are so excited with the 80s video game theme. Hope it snows!

We had our annual cookie bake off tonight! Each group had to find a recipe, gather the ingredients and put everything together tonight. The cookies were great, and the teamwork was even better!

What a great weekend for working on scout skills! Teaching our younger scouts some of the basics - axe yard safety, cooking, knots, and the patrol method.
Adults may also be coming home sore.

The scouts also worked together on a scenario to get through a ‘spider web’ to obtain a first aid kit to save a member of the troop.

We had a great camping trip this past weekend! We went to the Pine Barrens in NJ and traveled the Mullica River to the campground. The water level was low and required a lot of portaging but it was fun! We had amazing weather!!

A few weeks out of summer camp and finally posting pictures of our last day. We are SO proud of all of the scouts challenging themselves at the Cope Course!

It was a great week with a variety of merit badges earned: welding, swimming, fishing, rifle, emergency prep, small boat sailing, pottery, mammal study, movie making, and environmental science.

Looking forward to next year and our Canoe Teip on September. If any of our alumni scouts please reach out!!

Part of the Sailing Merit Badge requires capsizing the boat and then getting it back and ready to sail. There is no audio and my drone skills are lacking.
