Good Merit Badge day

6 of our scouts and 3 of our adult leaders went to Griffin to be part of the Flint River Council's Merit Badge Day today.  Our scouts took Communication, Citizen in the Community, Citizen in the World, and Electronics and had a great time with all the scouts from other troops there.  David Holly taught the Communication merit badge to a room full of scouts, and Doug Clemens and Bo Miller taught the Plumbing merit badge to some scouts looking to learn.  Everybody enjoyed the Chick-fil-a sandwiches for lunch and made it back to the scout hut right on time.  Woohoo! 

Good climbing and caving campout this weekend!

The boys of Troop 165 travelled to NW Georgia to go climbing and caving near Rocktown.  The rappelled about 80' down a rock, then climbed down in to a cave and explored one of the few remaining "wild" caves out there with their guide and fellow scouter Tommy Ivey.  The boys had a blast crawling through muddy tunnels, squeezing through a z-turn, and learning about how to safely explore a cave.

Many thanks to Scoutmaster Doug, David Wamer, Glen Armstrong, Ryan, and Tommy Ivey for taking our scouts on this adventure.  It was a life-changing experience!
