Campouts
Monthly campouts are held at Valley Pines, a property owned and managed by the Weymouth Heights Club on behalf and for the express use of the scouts of Troop 2 and their guests.

 
Our campground in Norwell, located at 505 Grove Street, includes a cabin, outhouse, fire circle, and flagpole.

 
As you drive into Valley Pines, please remember to stay off of our neighbors’ lawn. Speed limit is 5 mph. Please turn down radios and respect our neighbors property.

Weekend campouts typically begin on Saturday morning at 10 AM or so, and end early Sunday morning around 8 AM - 9 AM. Please pick up your boy promptly in the morning on Sunday so we can all go home and have a SHOWER!
Note – Uniforms are never required when we camp.

We will supply tents, although you're welcome to bring your own. There is also a cabin for sleeping when the weather doesn’t cooperate.
Cooking is on an OPEN FIRE - so be sure to bring a sturdy pot, eating utensils, a spatula, an oven mitt, a can opener, etc. Food you cook should be easy to prepare on an open flame, easy to eat, and any rubbish should be packed out. You should also bring cleaning supplies to clean your utensils and cooking equipment. A sandwich is fine for lunch, but you must cook your dinner.  Breakfast should be cold – cereal, granola bars, etc.
Please do not bring fast food (Burger King, McDonalds, etc) – this is a campout – you either bring a sandwich or cook your food. Excessive snacks, soda, and junk food are also not necessary.
What do you need to camp
  • Weather appropriate clothing including boots, hat, coat, gloves, etc
  • Food for 3 meals – Hamburgers, hot dogs, grilled cheese, eggs, etc – anything that cooks over an open flame is suggested.
  • Bottled water.
  • Warm sleeping bag and sleeping pad.

All participants must arrive before DUSK – there is no driving permitted past the final turnoff after dark.  If you arrive after dark please leave your vehicle at the final turnoff, assuring the road is clear, and let the adult leadership know so we can arrange to clear the road and alert the scouts to your arrival.
No scouts are to leave the premises without permission.
All boys are expected to clean up after themselves and help with troop cleanup.  Scouts should not leave Valley Pines until they have checked in with the scoutmaster.  The scoutmaster needs to be informed of departures and he will also verify that the scout has completed all required cleanup duties.
