Each year at Camp Mattituck, Troop 175 and Troop 76 compete in a high-spirited water polo game to claim the Ryan Duff Memorial Oar as a trophy for the year.
Troop 76 had retained the Oar for the past two years, but it was not to be this year. An outstanding offensive performance from troop 175's first year scouts and a strong defense from a Philmont-depleted senior scout team allowed Troop 175 to reclaim the prized oar.
The Oar is named for Ryan Duff, an Eagle scout from Troop 175, and brother to current scout Michael Duff, who tragically lost his life in a car accident. Ryan had many friends in both troops and this oar honors his memory.
