Saturday, July 27th concluded another great year at Yawgoog! Our week started hot but quickly cooled down with a day of rain and gave us an incredible week of weather. Scouts went head to head with other troops in trivia, sailing regattas, volleyball matches, and more throughout the week. 

We can’t forget the main goal of camp of obtaining merit badges and Troop 17 brought home an incredible 192 merit badges between all the Scouts. That’s an average of about 5 merit badges each! 

The Troop ended the week with a scenic lunch hike and the trip out to the inflatable iceberg to celebrate the end of the week. Any free time during the week was filled with nail-biting chess games and trips to the Company Store for restocks on Arizona iced tea. It was another amazing year at Yawgoog and all that’s left is to count the days until we return!
