We are going back to Camp Woodruff in Georgia
https://www.campwoodruff.org/
You'll never forget your summer at Woodruff. With programs designed for maximum fun and achievement, Woodruff offers once-in-a-lifetime adventures for Scouts looking for a pure Scouting experience.
Your typical Woodruff morning is spent knocking out Merit Badge requirements at the class-leading waterfront, nature/STEM center, field sports, handicraft or shooting sports ranges. In the afternoon, Scouts will the have the opportunity to take on adventure challenges like climbing & rappelling, whitewater rafting, mountain biking, mountain boarding, Ga-Ga ball, interpretive programs, and a variety of aquatic activities. Campfires, movie nights, Vespers, and spoof badge sessions fill the twilight hours before taps closes out another great day of camp.
Located in the North Georgia Mountains, Woodruff's natural environment gives us nearly unlimited opportunities for adventure. And the renowned first-year camper program and quality merit-badge instruction means that every Scout will have the time of their life.

-
Please choose "Adult Deposit" to hold your spot, then your final balance will be determined in March 2024
TRANSPORTATION:
We are planning again to charter a bus to bring all of us to and from camp this year like we did last year. It is very difficult to carpool such a large unit to camp and back again. In addition, with leaders who have been there all week, they are tired and likely exhausted and asking them to drive another 4 hours is not good. Thus, we have included the expected cost of the bus based on the expected number of scouts to register. If the cost goes up or down, we will keep you aware, so you are first to know the adjustment needed.
WHATS INCLUDED IN MY PAYMENT?
-
Each youth participating at Woodruff has, included in their camp fee, one offsite activity. That offsite activity could be either Nantahala river trip, Ocoee river trip, Whitewater MB, or Horse Trail Ride, either as part of the MB or just the ride. Any youth that desires an additional offsite activity will pay a $50 additional fee
-
All Merit Badges are included except Basketry, Leatherwork, Space Exploration and Wood Carving which require a kit to be purchased for completing required projects.
-
Transportation and Lunch driving to Camp
-
Transportation and Lunch returning home from Camp Woodruff
INDIVIDUAL TRIP INSURANCE (Optional)
After the May 2, 2025 cancellation deadline, any fees paid are non-refundable. So if you are unable to attend camp for illness, family reason or denied entry to camp due to medical checks then your fees paid would be non-refundable. However, individual trip cancellation insurance is available through several insurance carriers. This insurance will cover all expenses of your trip including fees paid to the troop in addition to the camp fee, with no deductible. The purchase of trip cancellation insurance is the responsibility of each scout/family. No refunds or exceptions will be made due to failure to purchase trip cancellation insurance. For some insurance coverage, you must secure the policy before January – when the first payment is made. The troop is not recommending any particular insurance provider, it is your responsibility to assess the need. Again this is completely optional.
Contact Mr. Soderlund for any Information on Camp Woodruff
