Surf Camp is a great easy little trip for new scouts to learn the ropes of scouting. This was in fact the first trip I went on as a boy scout. Although there are not very many merit badges to earn at this camp, it does give you a great chance to get some other sign offs for your rank advancement.

Surf camp is also a unique experience offered by troop 506. Only troop 506 offers surf camp. Mr. Catanzaro even had a special class where you could earn a patch. It was very easy to get if you paid attention. This was called The Surfrider award.

What also made this surf camp even more incredible is that a journalist from scout life magazine came. Our surf camp was featured in the 2024 August edition of scout life magazine. It was incredible.

Even if you don’t like surfing, Surf camp has plenty of other options. Last year at surf camp there was a riptide starting under a bridge & you could boogie board & float on it into the sea. It was super cool. And we played a lot of card games in our down time at surf camp. So even if surfing isn’t for you, come check it out anyway.
