It was another exciting week of Summer Camp for the scouts of Troop 110. This summer, the boys elected to return to Camp Rainey Mountain, an old favorite of some of the more senior members of the Troop.

While at summer camp, the scouts participated in a wide range of activites, from automotive maintenance, welding, and robotics to leatherwork, archery, and mammal study. They spent most evenings enjoying a swim at the waterfront and launching their fellow scouts from the blob. Two scouts completed their 5 mile hike for their Second Class Rank Advancement, 4 scouts completed a 10 mile hike for their Hiking Merit Badge, and many others completed shorter hikes and morning runs.

The boys enjoyed mostly pleasant weather. Warm days and comfortably cool nights with rain only rolling in for short periods on most days.

Final Thoughts on Camp Rainey Mountain

With some of the best camp staff we’ve ever seen, it is easy to see why so many scouts love Camp Rainey Mountain and return year after year. This summer camp experience boast some classic, and iconic summer camp moments, like campfire skits and songs, and many moments of personal growth for both our scouts and adults leaders. No, the boys will not soon forget their turn cleaning the bathrooms, but it didn’t stop any of them from looking forward to their next summer camp in 2027.

Thank you, Camp Rainey Mountain, for all the memories!
