Troop 299 Dublin Ohio

16/09/2026

Our Fall Court of Honor is always our biggest and tonight Troop 299 Dublin Ohio recognized 45 scouts for completing 188 total merit badges and earning 23 rank advancements over the summer.

We also took the opportunity to present summer camp awards from Camp Conestoga at Eberly Scout Reservation, Westmoreland Fayette Council.

We closed our ceremony with a Scoutmaster Minute reflecting on how much the Scouting America program has changed, and more importantly, stayed the same (Scout Oath & Scout Law anyone?), since the the 1948 Handbook for Boys was published.

Congratulations to all our scouts and adult leaders!
Very excited for the year ahead.

In July we continued one of the longest running traditions for Troop 299 Dublin Ohio. We attended our weeklong summer camp at Camp Conestoga on Eberly Scout Reservation, Westmoreland Fayette Council in Somerset, PA.

Among the many highlights:

We had the largest contingent in camp with 40 scouts and 10 adults in attendance, including 15 scouts attending summer camp for the first time and 5 others that were with us for their final time.

Our scouts completed a conservation project, earned over 170 merit badges, multiple rank advancements, and combined with their adult leaders to accumulate nearly 300 nights camping!

Our youth and adults completed trainings and were recognized with awards for cooking, shooting, scout skills, and even gaming.

In one of the most incredible camp ceremonies, our boys witnessed 3 of their peers be called-out for the national honor society of Scouting America, the Order of the Arrow - Scouting America.

Lastly, for the second straight year we were recognized as an Honor Unit.

All-in-all, an absolutely incredible week.
Thank you to all the adult volunteers, friends of the troop, parents, and youth leaders that make it happen.

Last weekend Troop 299 Dublin Ohio loaded up and set out for a weekend of Whitewater Rafting in West Virginia’s New River Gorge National Park and Preserve.

This past weekend Troop 299 Dublin Ohio went Back to Basics.

Recently we’ve welcomed over 20 new scouts to our Troop via crossovers and transfers, and most of them were able to join us at our new scout orientation outing, Back to Basics.

The PLC kicked off the outing at our Troop meeting by doing a gear shakedown and then last Friday we set off for Camp Falling Rock.

Our younger scouts learned about the patrol method by putting it into action and under the direction of our older boys, polished their scout skills at our axe yard, first aid, fire building, physical fitness, and patrol box/camp cooking stations.

The scouts hiked trails, slipped through the “lemon squeeze” (IYKYK), played capture the flag and then closed the activities with skits, songs and stories around the campfire.

The new scouts were prepared, the weather was great, and everyone came home a better scout.
All-in-all, another amazing outing!
