Seekonk Troops 1 and 9 Scouts had their yearly weeklong camping trip to Camp Yawgoog in Rockville, RI. During the week, Seekonk Scouts met other Scout Troops from around New England, New York, and New Jersey. During the day, Scouts participated in ATV training, swimming, merit badges, games, paddleboarding, and campsite decorations. Scouts decorated their tents and campsite in the theme of Pokemon and Candyland. Troop 1 and Troop 9 Scouts earned over 50 merit badges including Emergency Preparedness, Leatherworking, Swimming, and Aviation. In the evening, Scouts played games, spent time with friends, explored Camp Yawgoog, met Scouts from other states, and enjoyed evening campfires. Additionally, Seekonk Scouts won Troop Champions, the second highest award for a troop at Camp Yawgoog.
Seekonk Scouts are planning Fall and Winter Activities. In addition to their regular meetings, Scouts are planning a hike to Mount Washington in New Hampshire, Campsgiving, and a Winter camping trip.
