Scoutmasters Camporee (February 15-17)

The 2019 Scoutmasters was a very well organized event. Than k you South Florida Council!

We camped right next to the playground, which made it easy for the Lions and Tigers parents. Although, all kids enjoyed it.
At least 6 kids gained their Bobcat badge during the month of February, so we had a special ceremony with the kids and parents to grant them the badge with style.
Needless to say that the scouts were exhausted by the end of the day! We had so many activities and they had so much fun before collapsing!

Daytona Speedway (January 4-6, 2019)

Despite the rain and wind on Friday, the weekend turned out to be amazing!

The kids got to take picture with the drivers, sit in very fast cars, watch an awesome race from their tents, sign the race track, tell stories by the fire, learn about wind tunnels and aerodynamics.

All and all, this is a pack camping favorite.

Camp Sawyer (December 7-9, 2018)

Camp Sawyer is a beautiful place! Located in the Florida Keys, this BSA property has an amazing sunrise and nature all around us.

We woke up early and took the kids to Coral Reef Park, where they helped cleaning up the beach and learned the importance of nature preservation and how everything needs to be balanced for that beautiful place to exist.

We also visited the old Henry Flagler railroad and were gifted with the presence of sharks. The kids loved it!

 

Highlands Hammock (November 16-18, 2018)

Located 4 miles west of Sebring, Highlands Hammock is a 9,000 acre Florida State Park, very well maintained and filled with nature. We have been going there every year and it’s one the kid’s favorite destinations.

We went on multiple hikes and saw some beautiful birds, trees and insects. We also saw some scary animals. Like this cottonmouth snake …

and this gator …

We had the entire camp site for ourselves where the kids were free to play around and explore.

We had a flag retirement ceremony at night and, as usual, our closing ceremony.

Night at the Museum (October 27th, 2018)

Our scouts had the entire museum to themselves and they took full advantage of it!

We had pizza dinner as soon as we arrived, followed by a science class where the kids built a roller coaster.

The kids went through the night exploring the museum, until they had no more energy to do so.

Fishing Derby (October 13th, 2018)

Our pack successfully organized, once again, the Pine Island District Fishing Derby. Everyone got a free fishing rod with a tackle box and bait and went on to learn fishing knots with our volunteers, before heading to the lake for some great professional fishing!

The event was only possible thanks to our dozen of volunteers, who helped with registration, preparing the rods, preparing baits, teaching knots, measuring fish, cleaning up and handing out prizes. It was a great team effort, thank you all!

Rocket Derby (September 8th, 2018)

Our yearly pack Rocket Derby event occurred on September 8th at Country Estates Fishing Hole Park. We had great attendance with many new scouts joining in for the fun day.

The kids learned how to build their rockets then went to compete for prizes.

Cuboree – Camp Elmore (April 13-15, 2018)

This was one of the favorite campouts of the year, packed with activities and good times. The kids got to interact with other cub scout packs, go canoeing, play gaga ball, shoot BB guns, bow and arrow, cook delicious cake, among other events. We ended up winning a second Cub Scouts trophy which we will carry for the whole year until we get the chance to defend it next year.
