Summer Camp - Woodruff Scout Reservation 2014
Summer Camp means more in a Scout's life than all the meetings in the year put together. The days in camp mean physical fitness, fellowship, and fun. Scouts will have the opportunity to complete requirements for rank advancement, earn merit badges, and participate in several fun troop activities.

Woodruff Scout Reservation is operated by the Atlanta Area Council, and is located near Blue Ridge, Georgia, about two and one-half hours drive north of Decatur.

Remember, to get started on a merit badge, you must acquire a "blue card" with the Scoutmaster's signature.
Note: It is a good idea to make periodic photocopies of both sides of the partially completed blue card. These cards are the only record the Scout or the Troop has of the work the Scout has done toward the merit badge. Any lost requirement records will have to be done again!Troop 77 on Facebook!
