Seekonk Scouts Start the School Year Strong

Seekonk Troop 1 Scouts started the new scout year with a camping trip to Mount Washington in New Hampshire. The Scouts were rewarded with picturesque views during the strenuous hike up the mountain. They enjoyed lunch at the mountaintop and returned from the weekend encouraged by their accomplishment.

Troop 9 Seekonk, our girls' Troop, conducted a joint hike to Blue Hills Reservation in Milton, MA, with scouts from Cranston, RI. The two troops met at Camp Yawgoog this summer and instantly formed friendships among members of the two troops.

Troop 1 and Troop 9 hosted an open house recruitment event at Hurley Middle School. Both troops held demonstrations to show potential new members some of the fun activities associated with Scouting, including setting up a tent and campsite.

Troop 1 and Troop 9 are both planning additional trips and adventures, including Adventure at the Fort in Newport, RI, this October. Scouts should expect an exciting weekend camping experience that allows participating scouts to camp inside the fort at Fort Adams in Newport, RI.

Also, at the end of October, be on the lookout for our annual Scouting for Food flyers. Scouting for Food is our annual food collection drive, organized by Scouting America. Scouts will be in local neighborhoods, dropping off flyers to remind residents when and where to place non-perishable food items on November 1, 2025, to support Doorways Food Pantry in Seekonk.
