Nestled in Rockville, Rhode Island, Yawgoog Scout Reservation spans 1,800 acres and stands as the nation's fifth oldest Boy Scout camp, operating since 1916 under the Narragansett Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Every summer, scouts embark on an eight-week adventure, camping for a week with their troops across the Three Point, Medicine Bow, and Sandy Beach camps.
Originally leased and later purchased in 1917, the reservation, steeped in local lore, boasts diverse outdoor experiences. Chief Yawgoog, depicted as a spirited Native American with a canoe, symbolizes the camp's heritage. While separately owned by Rhode Island Boy Scouts, it's administered by the Narragansett Council, furthering its legacy in scouting history since its inception.
