Jumpstart Campout 2023
(March 17-19, 2023)
Troop 680 welcomed six new Scouts to the Troop at the annual Jumpstart Campout at Prince William Forest Park the weekend of March 17-19. Five of the new Scouts crossed over to the Troop from Cub Scouts (four from Pack 680 and one from Pack 1076), having earned the Arrow of Light in their respective Packs. The other new Scout joined the Narwhal Blade Patrol, having never previously participated in Scouts BSA. All six boys did a great job at the campout and completed all of the requirements for Scout rank and earned the Totin' Chip. Congratulations also to one of our older Scouts for organizing the campout and putting together the program which was delivered with the help of all of the other Scouts in the Troop who served as instructors Thanks also to our SPL for overseeing everything, helping to teach the new Scout program, and pinch-hitting wherever needed. The three Scout cooks also did a great job and kept everyone fed. Congratulations to everyone who made it through the freezing temperature Saturday night for earning a frost point as well.
