September 16-18, 2016 -- Camp Justis - Powhatan, VA | Capital Bike Trail - Henrico, VA
This month's campout was originally scheduled to be whitewater rafting at the U.S. National Whitewater Center in Charlotte, NC. However, after the unexpected death of a park visitor due to a brain-eating amoeba, the whitewater portion of the park was closed back in June. Out of an abudnance of caution, we decided to scrap those plans altogether and go with a backup.

June 19-21, 2015 -- Camp Justis - Powhatan, VA
The Summer campouts always tend to be more low key than normal and this month's was no exception. With a bunch of boys out of town on the High Adventure trip to Seabase down in Florida and a lot of others on family vacations and such, we only had about 25 boys on this trip, including nearly all of our first year scouts.
