Harriman Campout Recap

 

 

The weekend of September 27th, Troop 17 traveled to Harriman State Park in New York for its annual camping trip. On Saturday morning, we set out on a 4.25-mile hike. The Philmont Scouts carried full packs, and afterwards everyone enjoyed cinnamon apples. 

Later in the day, some Scouts went fishing while others kayaked on the lake. That evening, we gathered for a great campfire program with skits and songs. Many Scouts earned rank advancements during the weekend, and the Philmont Scouts practiced cooking dinner in large pots using camp stoves, preparing essential skills for their upcoming trek. 

Overall, it was a fun and memorable campout. On Sunday morning, we packed up, cleaned the campsite, and returned home.
