Assateague Beach Campout

(August 23-25, 2024)

Troop 680 had its annual campout at Assateague State Park in Berlin, MD.  The sunny weather  provided the perfect backdrop for our Scouts to have a blast swimming, playing in the sand, soaking up the sun, and enjoying quality time together, with reminders to drink water and slather on sun lotion.  Our Scout chefs took charge of the culinary duties, feeding the rest of the Troop and fueling us for a fun-filled day, while our adult leaders kept a watchful eye on everyone to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all.  However, our campsite had some unexpected visitors on Saturday morning.  Two wild ponies managed to wander in, but our quick-thinking adults safely escorted them away without incident.  Amidst all the fun, our Scouts also held a productive PLC meeting to discuss upcoming events and plan for the future.  We gathered around a roaring campfire, singing songs and sharing stories, as well as an entertaining cookie debate.  

Additional photos of the Assateague Beach Campout are available to Scout families on the restricted pages.
