Why Young Marines is better than Girls Scouts and Boy Scouts. |
The Young marine program is a Non-Profit Organization dedicated to instilling a drug-free lifestyle into youth ages 8 to 18. My Unit Is called the Natchaug River Unit with around 70 strong. We do alot of fun things with the unit throughout the year. Including getting involved with the community, Meeting other YM from around the world and kind of having a second family.
There are many thing that we do in the Young Marines and In our unit throughout the year. There are many diffrent units around the United States, with one in Japan and another in Hawaii. Once a year we have a Battalion Encampment (Meet-Up) which had 6 units from around Ct and 2 from Mass. Then there is a Regimental Encampment which I went to in August of this year and 16 troops came from around New England and 2 units from New Jersey. Next year is National which is everyone in the United States. I am planning on going and I can't wait.
