Cub Scout Beach Trip 2013::Pensacola, FL

Cub Scout Beach Trip 2013::Pensacola, FL

This past weekend was the Annual Cub Scout Pack Summer trip, but instead of venturing to higher ground, we braved the heat at the beach. Yes, we camped near the beach in Pensacola, Florida. Many leaders suggest it every year and every year a few other leaders are quick to nicks the idea. However, this year we thought we’d give it a turn.

We stayed at Big Lagoon State Park, which was quite large with lots of camping areas. (Wikipedia)

After Breakfast of egg, sausage, & potato scramble, we had a quick FYI meeting and a group picture.

The braves souls that beat the heat!
