G on a rope bridgeLast weekend was the annual ScoutBlast at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds.  The Northeast Georgia Council holds the event each year to allow the Scout from different Packs and Troops to get together as well as allow the public to see what sort of cool things they can come up with in camp.

There were:

  • rope bridges
  • a kayaking pond
  • a “Cub Car” track
  • rod & reel casting
  • a rotating swing
  • compressed air rockets
  • a trebuchet
  • boat building

There were also multiple vendors showing Scouts and leaders, as well as those in the public that might be interested.

The kids were running around and checking out all of the cool things to do, and Scout leaders were looking for ideas for next year’s event.

Events like this are happening all over Gwinnett County most weekends thro0ughout the year.  Not specifically Scouting, but events that might be interesting to you or your kids.  Model train shows, car shows, equestrian events and more.  I try to mention the ones that I am aware of… especially the ones that I get to visit with my family.  Take a look around… the worst that could happen is meetng a new friend that shares your hobbies or interests.
