2026 Project Fund
Founded in 1980, the Yawgoog Alumni Association preserves the heritage of Yawgoog and supports the program by contributing funds for capital improvements and purchases. The YAA has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to improve the camp and its facilities over the past 46 years. Your contribution to the project fund goes directly to support projects sponsored and funded by the Yawgoog Alumni Association. In 2026, the Yawgoog Alumni Association continues its commitment to preserving and enhancing Camp Yawgoog through a series of impactful projects. Current initiatives include renovations to the historic East (Factor’s Club) and West Cabins, construction of a new Sherwood Forest Shelter, WiFi enhancements to better support adult leaders, $12,000 in staff scholarships, improvements at Bucklin, and more. These efforts ensure that Yawgoog remains a premier destination for future generations. Your support makes this work possible—please consider making a contribution to help bring these projects to life. |

Yawgoog 100 Walkway
From the first 250 Scouts who camped at the old Palmer homestead in 1916, to the thousands of Scouts who travel from across the country each year, Yawgoog has inspired hundreds of thousands of young men in it's first 100 years. Yawgoog truly is A Scout Adventureland, Forever.
The foresight and generosity of many people has helped Yawgoog to grow and thrive for the past 100 years. To continue that spirt the Rhode Island Boy Scouts have created a special “Yawgoog 100” Endowment Fund. The gifts to the Yawgoog 100 Fund are permanently restricted, that is, they can never be spent. Only the interest and proceeds will be spent to support Camp Yawgoog. Memorial Donors to the Yawgoog 100 Fund will be recognized with an engraved brick in a new walkway and flagpole area in the Donald North Court, next to the Bucklin Memorial Lodge. Gifts in the amount of $1,000 or greater may be pledged over a period of 5 years. You may also donate stocks and securities or make an irrevocable estate planning gift.
Like so many before us, now is the time to make your gift to ensure that Yawgoog is available for the next 100 years to those that follow on the Scouting Trail
