Ode to Camp Yawgoog

Underneath the shining sun, my second home is Camp Yawgoog

Arriving on Sunday and leaving a week after

People are optimistic about completing the BSA mile swim

There is no gloom on Lake Yawgoog 

Only encouraging Scout mates cheering you on


When I am at camp I only feel joyous 

And to embrace the memories

With new things to do, there is never a frown


From firing shotguns and rifles to

Soaring through the ATV course

I feel like the week is nearly gone

 and it is unfortunately Friday night


We always try to achieve Merit Badges, by pushing hard and trying our best each day

It is already the Saturday Swim Carnival 

When the Scoutmasters do their famous Scoutmaster’s splash


It is already Saturday and people cannot wait for the world-famous Saturday night show 

When our head touches the pillow everyone is hoping for another adventurous day

It is finally the Sunday dress parade and people are depressed that they have to go home after the dress parade.
