Summer camp is an essential element of the Troop 72 calendar. Each year the Scouts of Troop 72 head off to summer camp for a week of fun, learning, and fellowship. This Summer Troop 72 is headed to Goose Pond Scout Reservation. We're looking forward to another wonderful summer camp program.

First year Scouts will participate in our own Troop 72 Dan Beard Program, a program designed to help first year Scouts along the path towards First Class rank. Additionally they will spend the week working towards Fishing, Leatherwork, and Woodcarving/Basketry merit badges.
