Troop 720 Houseboat Trip

In June of 2010 Troop 720 sponsored a houseboat trip on the St. Johns River in Central Florida for the older Scouts.  We were on the river for a week in the houseboat that you see above.  We travelled about 120 miles on the river over seven days.  We visited Blue and Silver Glen Springs.  Ate a bunch of great food.  Goofed around in the water.  Wet a few lines and generally goofed off for a week.  We safely returned the boat and crew to Holly Bluff Marina on Thursday, July 1, 2010.  All in all, a great trip!

Scout Camp at Raven Knob

Went to Raven Knob Scout Reservation with Troop 720 for a week of summer camp (June 20 to 27). We had a very good week.

Raven Knob has a good program and the Scouts really enjoy it. We stayed in Red Oak campsite on the east side of the reservation. Got a lot of exercise walking in the hills. Zach popped himself in the lip with the butt end of a shotgun, but otherwise no injuries.

Family Fest is this Saturday from 1:00pm to 5:00pm at the Spacecoast Stadium on Stadium Parkway in Viera. Families are invited. Tickets to the game Saturday evening may be purchased at the Manatee table. Tickets include seat, hot dog and a drink. Carol and I are planning on staying for the game and enjoying an evening out in our beautiful, Brevard spring weather!

Econ River

I was looking at the Econlockhatchee River where we are going camping in May. There are several geocaches along the river where we will be staying. Bring your GPS and I'll supply the coordinates and maps.
