Troop #41982 of the of the USA is making a lasting impact at Camp Yeomalt!

As part of their journey toward earning the Bronze Award, these dedicated scouts recently rolled up their sleeves to repaint the Camp Yeomalt activity room. Their hard work, teamwork, and commitment to service are helping create a brighter, more welcoming space for future campers, community programs, and outdoor education activities.

Projects like this show what youth leadership looks like in action—identifying a need, working together, and leaving a place better than they found it. We’re grateful for their energy, creativity, and service to our community.

Thank you, Scouts, for investing in the places that bring people together. 🌲🎨💚
