North Babylon Boy Scout Troop 399's at Yawgoog Scout Camp
North Babylon's Boy Scout Troop 399 began a tradition back in July of 1977 that still lasts today - summer camp at Yawgoog Scout Reservation! The troop attended Camp Yawgoog which is located in Rockville, Rhode Island the week of July 9 through July 16. For Yawgoog's 102nd season 20 boys and 7 adults attended camp. Each year at Camp Yawgoog enriches the boys knowledge of many subjects including Wilderness Survival, Fishing and First Aid. They can kayak, canoe and swim among the many other wonderful activities at the reservation. The scouts earned 64 merit badges, two scouts advanced in rank, the troop earned honor troop , and took 3rd place in the bake-off contest. Last year they won Troop of the Week for Camp Medicine Bow which is one of three subdivisions of the 1800 acre scouting paradise. The scouts learned to live and work together towards common goals with community spirit and had a wonderful time! For more information you may visit Troop 399’s website at http://northbabylon399.mytroop.us . It is sponsored by the North Babylon Lions Club. Originally chartered in 1975, Troop 399 has been serving the community, turning boys into leaders and giving families the opportunity to participate in Scouting for 40 years.
