Participants should eat prior to arriving and bring lunch, water, and snacks (trail food for Sunday’s lunch). Scouts and adults will cook Saturday night and Sunday morning in their individual patrols.
In addition to the normal gear scouts bring on every camp out (see the personal gear check list at https://www.troop11mp.org/troop-documents.html), plan to waterproof gear since we’ll be traveling to the campsite by water.

WHERE: Camp Woodruff, Blairsville, GA 30512
COST: Base price of $545 for all Scouts; some Merit Badges and High Adventure Programs have added fees.
First year scouts will do the MOUNTAINEER PROGRAM. The Mountaineer Program is designed for those Scouts who have either just crossed over from Webelos or have limited camping experience. Basic Scout skills for the inexperienced Scout form the basis of the program. Mountaineer is a two-hour program held every morning all week. There are two sessions every day. The remainder of the day, Scouts can work on merit badges that may interest them or participate in Troop activity periods.
Scouts are instructed in the following skill areas: woods tools, meal preparation and cooking, pioneering, knots, orienteering, nature, first aid, and outdoor citizenship. In addition, Scouts can participate in a five- mile hike.
All other scouts - BASE CAMP WOODRUFF. Each youth participating at Woodruff has one offsite activity included in their camp fee. That offsite activity could be rafting the Nantahala or the Oconee River or Horseback Riding. Any youth that desires an additional offsite activity will pay an additional fee. High adventure programs are individually priced.
