2022 — Year in Scouting Photo Review

Troop 121 & 1104 had an active year in 2022, with outings scheduled for almost every month and many service projects, day hikes, and scout activities throughout the year. Scroll below for a recap of some of the photo-worthy moments!

Hike & Camp — Scouts hiked and camped in Morgan Monroe Forestry

Hike & Cave — We hiked 3 miles into our campsite, atop a small cave. Scouts were able to cave all day and campout in the wilderness before hiking back out.

Back-To-Basics — The kickoff for new scouts and an opportunity for all scouts to work on rank advancement, leadership, and outdoor skills.

Canoe Exploration — During back-to-basics, our advanced scouts get the opportunity to work on a merit badge or go on an advanced skills day-trip. In 2022, we canoed 5 miles to explore a poorly mapped creek, scouting for future troop camping sights.

Court of Honor — At the end of Back-to-Basics, we take a moment to celebrate the advancements that scouts have made.
