Summer Camp & Packing List
Summer Camp & Packing List
Troop 137 has a long-standing tradition of attending summer camp at Camp Keowa, part of the Ten Mile River Scout Camps in Narrowsburg, New York. For decades, our Scouts have spent a week each summer at Keowa, building skills, forming friendships, and creating lasting memories.
We are especially proud that Scott Dellosso, a Troop 137 alumnus, serves as Camp Director, continuing a strong connection between our troop and Camp Keowa.
Ten Mile River is one of the largest and most established Scout camp properties in the country, offering a wide range of merit badges, outdoor programs, and waterfront activities in a beautiful natural setting.
Summer camp is one of the highlights of the Scouting year, and all Scouts are encouraged to attend.
Please review the official Camp Keowa guide for detailed information about camp operations, programs, and policies:
A full week of camping with the troop
Merit badge classes across a variety of subjects
Swimming, boating, and waterfront activities
Outdoor skills and advancement opportunities
Campfires, troop activities, and evening programs
