  • This is a celebration of Scout Spirit, and a Day in the Life, at Camp Medicine Bow, Yawgoog Scout Reservation, Rockville, Rhode Island.
    I used clips from a week there, to create this story. No doubt the blurry eyed, never mind the sharp eyed, will notice inconsistencies and continuity problems. Gulty as charged, and New England indifferent to your objections.
    We had an absolute blast, and I hope this brings back happy memories for those who have been, inspires those thinking of going, and entertains all what watch. Thank you for joining us, and thank you to everyone who made this possible.

      I'm terrible at remembering song lyrics; I can only manage a few lines, even from my favorite songs. But I have memories from Seaton - from 40 years ago. Creating good memories is a very important thing, isn't it?

      Troop 284 from '87 to '93 here. Made my first visit to Yawgoog and MB in over 30 years last weekend, fell in love with Yawgoog all over again. Cheers!

    I went to Yawgoog 1982-1987. 10:10-10:20 I see my former troop behind the trumpet player (433 Middle Island, Long Island, NY). Really cool!!

      I had so much fun there, and my own boys got so much out of it, that after our troop went to H M Moses for a weekend trip, I had the idea to try to form a composite troop, that would visit three or four different scout camps each summer.

      Thank you, and yes it is, for kids and adults. We were able to go again last year, and will be back this summer. I consider this my most valuable video -- I want no credit for that -- rather, I had the opportunity to capture and share wonderful memories, and the video has been largely well received. It is the people on camera that make it special, I merely watched and strung it together.

    I have authored three books containing merit badge requirements. These books will assist the scout and merit badge counselor to achieve the desired merit badge. The books can be obtained on amazon or at the local library. They are WEATHER by Jack Fleming, GEOLOGY by Jack Fleming, and BEACHES (for the Oceanography badge) by Jack Fleming.
