Very sad news
I know a lot of you are involved or have in the past been involved in Boy Scouts.
Sadly a young Scout from NY, camping with his troop at Yawgoog, passed away last night, apparently while sleeping. More details are not out.
As a few you know, my son is camping there at Yawgoog this week, as are many hundred other scouts from the northeast.
Please keep this young boy, his family and fellow scouts in your thoughts.

Biggest fear as a parent, greatest sadness. |

T&P and for the boys at camp this week, it will probably have an effect on all of them in some way..

What a sad ending to what for many was the biggest event of their short lives. I remember my first trip to Yawgoog. I was still 10 , just a few weeeks before 11th birthday was allowed. It was by far the biggest event ever for me at the time.
What a sad turn of events for his family.
Bug bite? Food allergy? I wonder what happened?

Terrible for the kid and his parents. What a lesson in life for the young scouts. For most of them, I would imagine that it has to be one of their first encounters with the death of one of their own.
