Seekonk Scouts Work Through the Summer

Seekonk Troop 1 and Troop 9 are on break for the Summer but are working hard on merit badge requirements. Troop members are working on merit badge requirements for Environmental Science and Personal Fitness. Scouts have been observing and studying environmental science at the Seekonk Meadows. Scouts have learned all about pollinators, water and air pollution, and invasive species. The Personal Fitness merit badge is an Eagle required merit badge. Scouts learn about healthy lifestyle practices and participate in regular physical activity.

Several members of Troop 1 and Troop 9 are working on finalizing their Eagle project. Eagle projects benefit the community and allow Eagle scout candidates to demonstrate their leadership skills.

In addition to merit badge and Eagle projects, Seekonk Scouts are preparing for their August trip to Camp Yawgoog in Rockville, Rhode Island. This is a weeklong adventure with scouts from the region earning merit badges, rank requirements, and having fun camping, hiking, swimming, and other fun activities.
