Valley Pines has been in continuous use for over 50 years as a camping area owned and administered by the Weymouth Heights Club. Troop 2 has used this location for weekend campouts, Eagle scout presentations, and Family Day. Our scouts have learned wilderness survival skills, knife and axe handling, cooking on an open fire, hiking, and numerous other outdoor practices while camping there.
In the fall of 2007 and early 2008 we moved the campfire circle further into the woods for privacy and to increase the space and safety of the area. This new circle includes a cooking area that's easy to access with a sturdy surface and a larger seating area, as well as a clear area for tents, the flagpole, and our wood pile. In 2011 a proposed Eagle project will add a pump station in this location as well.
Some photos of a campout in 2010 are below.
