Scouters' Winter Campout (SWC) has been an annual event for Cobb County Scouters for 40 years. It showcases the best of Cobb's three Scouting Districts: Covered Bridge, Foothills and Mountain Lake which began humbly as a training event to show adult leaders that their units could easily camp comfortably in the outdoors throughout winter months and has grown into an adult "Camporee". Bring your curiosity, warm clothes, best "Scout Spirit" and other adult members of your unit for a great weekend of FUN, fellowship and inspiration!
SWC is open to all adult Scouters from the Scoutmaster with 25 years of leadership to the Den Leader who just signed up at School Night for Scouting. The program is organized to emulate the Boy Scout patrol method. For the 2008 SWC, we had a total of 38 Patrols with over 320 participants in attendance.
The theme of the 2008 SWC was a pioneering theme. The origins of Scouting started with a pioneering emphasis from Dan Beard that was woven into the Scouting skills of Baden Powell.
The 2008 Spirit Patrol was
M.A.S.H 002 of Pack 002.
The 2008 Honor Patrol was Eagle Quest of Troop 750.
Who will it be for 2009?
The Scoutmaster for the 2009 SWC is Tom Morin
The Senior Patrol Leader for the 2009 SWC is John Keeshen
The dates for the 2009 SWC will be January 9 - 11, 2009. Plan now to be there.
