Scouting with CENTRAL FLORIDA COUNCIL provides UNPARALLELED EXPERIENCES FOR MORE YOUTH! “I’m not sure what to do next,” the young woman shouted, supended 30 feet in the air on a steel cable. Below her feet were a series of ever-shrinking wooden rails, extending 20 feet in front of her, forming an unruly bridge. The entire length of the crossing twisted and turned a bit under her with each step. On the ground, her Patrol-mates and Camp Staff encouraged her onward. “Try stepping forward with your right foot,” a Staff Member suggested from the platform beyond, coaching her on. The Scout took a step, then another, gaining confidence in the crossing as she did. By the time she reached the far platform, she was all smiles! “I didn’t think I could do it!” she shared with her friends, back on the ground. “The third step twists funny if you step on it with the wrong foot. Once I figured out which foot to put where, though, it was almost easy!” And was it FUN?! “Heck yeah!” This Scout, along with countless others that day, was participating in a program at Camp La-No-Che’s Adventure Camp. Just one of many similar offerings available to Scouts, Adventure Camp challenges young men and women to tackle a challenge head on, even if they don’t think they can do it. They make a plan, set a goal, and then do their best. These kinds of real-world challenges mirror the entire approach of Scouting and are what has made the Boy Scouts of America a leader in youth development for over 100 years. www.cflscouting.org Valid thru 12/31/2019 For more information & booking, visit www.camplanoche.com V O Camping” L U S I A parent A Z I N at E top. | 25 and select “Weekend from M the A G links
