The Florida Sea Base is the first Scouting facility in the world to be designated as a S.C.E.N.E. (Scouting Centers of Excellence for Nature and the Environment).In order to earn this award, you must complete 2 Service Projects. One while you are at Sea Base, and the other once you get home. In recognition of this, all participants are eligible to earn a SCENE award patch at no cost.
Our 1st SCENE Service Project was cleaning up the shore on Munson Island. Barrier reef islands get a lot of interesting garbage! Our guys picked up more stuff than any other crew. I don't think that anybody, had any idea, how much crap goes into the ocean. The next time you throw something down, just remember that it could go down the creek, through the river, out to the ocean, and wash ashore on Munson Island.
