Seekonk Troop 1 and Troop 9 Scouts Winter Activities

Over the last month, Seekonk Troop 1 and Troop 9 scouts participated in regular troop meetings, worked on merit badge and rank requirements, and continued planning future adventures such as snow tubing, cabin camping, and a backpacking trip, among other activities.

Our boys' Troop participated in the Klondike Derby at Camp Yagoog. The Klondike Derby is an annual competition in which regional scout troops compete in various winter activities. The scouts competed in the centipede shoe race, fire-building competition, axe throwing, Yeti log toss, and memory challenge. During the competition, the scouts also participated in a flag retirement ceremony.

Since the beginning of the year, Troop 1 has advanced three scouts to the highest rank of Eagle Scout. The rank of Eagle Scout is achieved by approximately 5% of Scouts throughout the Country.
