Summer Camp: Yawgoog Scout Reservation

We cordially invite your daughter to participate in our annual trip to summer camp. This year, Troop 19 will again be heading to Yawgoog ("yah-goo") in Rockville, Rhode Island. Camp Yawgoog is about three hours and 15 minutes from Short Hills.

 

Yawgoog has been in operation for more than 100 years and has a lot to offer. It sits on a huge lake with swimming, sailing, rowing, canoeing and fishing. Scouts have the opportunity to earn dozens of merit badges—everything from swimming to robotics to farm mechanics to nature and camping. 

 

Summer camp provides each Scout an excellent opportunity for rank advancement, continual development of leadership skills and outdoor scouting skills, and most importantly, the opportunity to make memories that will last a lifetime.

 

 

Adult Chaperones Required
 
We require at least four parent chaperones each day of camp, with at least two being female. Parents will have the day open to enjoy the facilities or work remotely in one of the WiFi-equipped buildings. You don't need to commit to the whole week. Please click here to see how you can help with summer camp. Please contact Scoutmaster McKenna with any questions. 
 
 

Discounts and Financial Assistance 

  

In addition, two discounts are offered by Camp Yawgoog:

  • Families registering two or more Scouts will receive a $50 discount per child.
  • Any Scout attending a high adventure camp this year, such as Philmont or Sea Base, will receive a $100 discount. 

Financial challenges should not be an obstacle to attending summer camp. If there is a need for financial assistance, please contact Mr. McKenna, and we will find a way to help.

We look forward to another fantastic year at summer camp!
