Thanks to Scott, for sharing these photos of the Yawgoog Scout Reservation ( Rockville, RI ) fire fighting trucks! Founded in 1916, Yawgoog is the fourth oldest continuously run Scout camp in the United States.

Here is a flyer handed out after the great fire of 1930:

After the Great Forest Fire of 1930, most of the forest and woods at Camp Yawgoog were left blackened and bare. The summer activities shifted from the wood to the water. Among the items added to the waterfront were two 28' Navy Cutters. The Cutters were extremely popular and survived into the late fifties

1968 – Dr. Charles Wilson Brown, retired Head of the Geology Department at Brown University, gave to the camp the rescue boat that now carries his name. Allan W. Halladay, Sr. created the “Peanuts” cartoon artwork on the boats hull with the blessing from Charles Schultz.

A couple of famous guys have visited the scouts at camp Yawgoog, Ted Williams and Archie Moore, https://www.yawgoog.org/uploads/6/8/4/2/68426127/yawgoog_story_-_vol_iii.pdf and strangely, both have a San Diego connection (where I live) and here I am posting about the one scout camp they both visited!  

A separate post about Ted Williams coming up soon
