Friends of Boy Scout Troop 10

Picture
​
​​When a young person joins the Boy Scouts, they look forward to the fun and challenge of travel and camping, and the camaraderie of friends and adult leaders. What they also get is guidance from the adults that take part in their experiences. Friends of Boy Scout Troop 10 is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization created to raise membership and funding  to serve current and future generations of our children with positive life experiences.

Wild Game Stew Drive Through Raises Funds for Boy Scout Troop 10

After postponing our Wild Game Dinner fundraiser due to Covid 19 concerns, we finally launched the Wild Game Stew Drive Through on three consecutive weekends and had great sales of frozen stew and game meat jerky to folks arriving in their cars! Ele Fox, Rod Collman and Charlie Klein volunteered considerable time and effort to help make this a success – despite the restrictions of the virus.
We wish to thank the Members of VFW Post 2550 (Veterans of Foreign Wars) for providing the frozen storage and preparation of the game meat. Thank you specifically to Angie Taylor Catering who prepared and froze the stew.  Angie is a member of VFW Post 2550. Jerky makers were Denis Brogan and Mitchell Sparrow, also members of the VFW. VFW Post 2550 is located at 360 Douglas Avenue in Dunedin.
     

Supporting the Future of Our Youth and Our Community

 A GREAT SCOUT HUT FACILITY AND EQUIPMENT

Troop 10 has their own home in the Scout Hut in Dunedin. This is where they hold their meetings and other gatherings and where camping equipment and other items are kept in storage. 
The building has been updated periodically over the years with the most recent project taking place in 2018 by the current leaders.
The hut is Dunedin history and we plan to keep it there for future Scouts.

SCOUTS HAVING FUN ADVENTURES AND RESPECTING NATURE

The outdoor code is the foundation of camping with Scouts.
As an American, I will do my best to…
Be clean in my outdoor manners.
Be careful with fire.
Be considerate in the outdoors.
Be conservation-minded.
 
When my son was in the troop, one of their favorite campouts was to canoe out to a spoil island in the intracoastal waterway off Dunedin for the weekend. 
But there were so many adventures.  We kept the “outing” in scouting.

TROOP LEADERS WHO ASSIST SCOUTS WITH GROWING AS PEOPLE

Troop leaders take their volunteer roles seriously in not only teaching our kids how to camp and respect nature, but to teach them about their role as responsible and proactive members of the community. The legacy we hope to instill in the Scouting world as well as the community is the GOOD that Scouting does for our community and the county as a whole. It can instill reverence, tradition, respect, and good will towards our country and its people. Our community grows because of scouting.
- Rod Collman
Mentoring
​The scouts provided me a platform where I could mentor the scouts into young men. It was an opportunity to influence the Scouts without their parents' interference. To have their attention without electronic devices and distractions, helping them develop their own opinions on the world and its continued evolution.
​- Rod Collman
Adventure
My best memories from my 10 years as Scout Master for Troop 10 are about camping. The best adventures were the 75 mile canoe trips down the rivers of Florida. There is nothing better than floating down the Suwanee in the middle of the night laying in the bottom of a canoe, rafted up with six others, floating with the river's current, viewing the stars and trying to find the space station as it passed us by.
​- Rod Collman

Responsibility
To advance in scouting, a Boy Scout is required to participate in service projects in their community or for our sponsor. But the Eagle projects, planned and executed by the Eagle Scout candidate, make a lasting impact on the community. 
Each project the Eagle Scout undertakes is special to the community as well as the Scout doing the project. Events and projects that Troop 10 Eagle Scouts undertake include learning responsibility for the community and each other.
