Scoutmasters is always a fun weekend, we don’t have much time to rest but the scouts enjoy every minute of it. 

Tanah Keeta is a very well maintained park with lots of trails, lakes and many activities for the scouts.

We reserved the obstacle course and went on a day trip to Johnathan Dickinson State Park, which is right next door.

Camp Sawyer is most scout’s favorite. You get to enjoy the sunrise, sunset and stars at night. This year we visited the USCGC Ingham Maritime Museum, such an informative experience.

The Pine Island Medieval Cuboree didn’t disappoint this year again. Not a lot of packs came along but it was still a lot of fun and well organized event. The kids didn’t stop from 7:30 am until 9:00 pm with a full day of activities.

Our gateway ended up winning first place!

At night we built a fire where the scouts did a skit , told funny and scary stories, and ate s’mores before going back to their tents.

Tanah Keeta is a BSA campsite managed (very well managed) by the Gulf Stream Council. It was the first time our pack camped out there and we want to make it an annual destination, it was a lot of fun.

We visited the Brightline facilities and the kids learned a lot about safety and how trains are run. They all got to honk the loud train horn and received cool souvenirs at the end.

The campsite had so many options of activities and fun things to do, we canoed one afternoon and everyone loved it.

Can’t wait to go there again!

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!

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!

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.

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.
