Troop 888 went to Wolfeboro from June 23rd to June 29th. Wolfeboro is a week-long summer camp, where you can get many merit badges and camping nights. Troop 888 goes to Wolfeboro almost every year as we have found it to be perfect for our needs. Wolfeboro has lots of activities that can be done for fun too, such as rifle ranges or swimming.

Wolfeboro has something for every scout that attends. Wolfeboro staff organizes Sourdough for 1st time campers. Sourdough is a backpacking trip through a trail that needs to a campground near a stream. Campers will stay there overnight, sleeping under the stars. The next day, everyone packs up and hikes back. Sourdough is a great way to train new scouts in scouting skills like camping, hiking and backpacking while having a great time.

For older scouts, Wolfeboro has opportunities for many merit badges. You also can get rockers, which are like special awards for doing a list of requirements related to a scouting skill. You can get rockers in hiking, nature, swimming, etc. Finally, for scouts who want to go above and beyond, there are opportunities for scouts to become part of Wolfeboro’s staff. The last major award a scout can achieve at Wolfeboro is becoming a pioneer. A pioneer must have attended 3 years of Wolfeboro and completed other requirements. 

Troop 888 has seen that these opportunities are what makes Wolfeboro unique and a great option for a summer camp. Due to all the activities at the camp, everyone that attended had a great time.
