Troop 17 had a great week at Camp Yawgoog, staying at Campsite Waskecke. Despite two days of heavy rain, everyone made the most of the week by earning merit badges and buying snacks from the trading post.
Scouts spent the week fishing from the beach, paddle boarding, participating in the swim carnival, playing badminton, and visiting the inflatables. We also had a campfire where we had many skits and songs and took part in a flag retirement ceremony.
Our troop of 39 Scouts earned an impressive 159 merit badges throughout the week. It was an amazing experience and we can’t wait to return to Camp Yawgoog next year.
