Program: Movie Making
Program Patrol: Lightning Wolves
Join us for a weekend of Canoeing, Beach Games, and Movie making as we tackle Movie Making Merit Badge in beautiful Ft. DeSoto Park.
We will meet at Black Hammock Friday afternoon for the 2.5 hour trek to southern Pinellas County. We will tent camp Friday and Saturday nights, returning to black hammock by approximately 1:00pm Sunday.
While at Ft DeSoto, we will be camping in the primitive tent area across the street from the entrance to the boat ramp. There are picnic tables, potable water and restroom and shower facilities. No pavilion.
Register Camp @ Fort De Soto via TroopMaster – Closed!
Activities:
During the day on Saturday we will begin the day developing storyboards and reviewing basic movie making skills. You will teach an FYE a new skill and video your teachings using the EDGE method. Afterwards we will canoe to Shell Island for a day on the beach. Others may choose to hike, fish, or tour all Ft Desoto Park has to offer.
Each patrol is responsible for loading their own Patrol gear and ensuring their meal plans and duty rosters and ready for this weekend. Remember to plan for Saturday Breakfast, A BROWN BAG(ZIP LOCK) LUNCH, Saturday dinner, and Sunday breakfast.
