Even if the crowd was small, the energy was BIG! 🌟
Our girls had a fantastic time representing our troop at the Round Table "Meet the Troops" event! While we missed seeing more Arrow of Light Scouts, our scouts had a blast running the activities they planned and created all on their own.
The best part? The other troops and leaders loved joining in on the fun! Thank you to everyone who stopped by our table to interact with our scouts and see what our troop is all about.
We’re always ready to welcome new youth—if you couldn't make it out, our door is always open! ⛺✨

🎣 Huge success at the Fishing Derby! 🐟
Our Troop 79 Girls Unit had a blast assisting at the Fishing Derby on October 3rd!
The scouts jumped right in to help run the fishing game and support the Cub Scouts as they cast their lines and reeled in their catches. After helping out, the girls even got to do a little fishing of their own!
We are so proud of these leaders for serving our scouting community, helping younger scouts learn new skills, and having a great time doing it.
Way to represent, Troop 79! 🌲🏕️

This is what Scouting is all about! ⚜️
While attendance was lower than expected for Saturday’s Bobcat Boot Camp, the true success of the day was seeing our youth lead. Troop 79 Boys and the invite to Troop 79 Girls teamed up across 9 skill stations, using the EDGE method to guide and encourage our younger Cub Scouts.
Watching scouts teach scouts with patience, enthusiasm, and plenty of smiles is what this program is all about. Fantastic job to all the youth leaders for putting on a great event! 👏 leadership in action!

Happy 1-Year Anniversary to Troop 79G! 🎉❤️
One year ago, we officially launched Troop 79G with just 3 Scouts and 4 brave adult leaders stepping into the unknown. Today, we are so proud to share that our family has grown to 11 amazing Scouts and 10 dedicated adult leaders!
In just 365 days, this incredible group has:
Logged 10 campouts together, building memories that will last a lifetime
Scaled rock walls, zoomed down ziplines, and mastered archery & r***e shooting
Learned vital real-world skills: fire safety, axe & saw safety, swim lessons, and swim rescues
Attended our very first Summer Camp at Camp Woodruff with 3 of our Scouts
Built incredible momentum, with Scouts advancing from new members to Scout, Tenderfoot, and Second Class ranks, alongside earning their first merit badges!
While the ranks, outdoor adventures, and skill-building have been incredible, the absolute best part of this entire year has been watching true sisterhood form. The smiles, the unstoppable laughter around the campfire, and the lifelong friendships made will always be our greatest achievement.
To our Scouts: thank you for your grit, curiosity, and boundless energy. To our parents and adult leaders: thank you for believing in the vision, driving the miles, and giving these youth a safe, empowering space to lead and grow.
Here is to year one in the books, and many more adventures to come! 🏕️✨

It was a fantastic, action-packed weekend at Lithia Springs! Overcoming a midnight downpour and heavy thunder is practically a rite of passage, and seeing the girls handle it with high spirits and maturity shows just how much resilience and leadership they’ve built.
Weekend Highlights
America’s 250th Challenge: Working through rank requirements and heritage activities toward the 250th Anniversary Commemorative Patch.
DIY Camp Crafts: Crafting custom insulated meal cozies to keep outdoor cooking warm and efficient.
Reverent Service: Conducting a dignified flag retirement ceremony to honor retired colors.
Spring Cool-Down: Beat the Florida heat with an afternoon dip in the cool waters of Lithia Springs.
Campfire Fellowship: S'mores, laughter, and troop skits under the stars before the weather turned.
Storm Resilience: Weathering Saturday night’s heavy thunder and sudden deluge with calm teamwork and solid camp setup.
Moments like the stormy night is usually the ones they remember and laugh about for years. Seeing their growth, independence, and positive attitudes under pressure is what makes leading so rewarding. Outstanding work by the whole troop!
If interested in a girls scouting america troop come visit us at 2913 John Moore Rd, Brandon, FL 33511. We meet on Monday nights at 7pm.to 8:30

🍿🎬 Movie on the Lawn Success! 🎬🍿
Tonight, Pack 79 hosted their annual end-of-summer Movie on the Lawn, and they were so kind to extend their invite to Troop 79G to join in on the fun! This has been a favorite tradition for about 5 years now—the perfect way to celebrate the end of summer before heading back to school. 🎒✏️
We watched The LEGO Movie to get everyone pumped for our upcoming LEGO Popcorn Sales! Not only was it a great movie with a wonderful message, but the weather even cooperated with a surprisingly cool evening. 🌤️✨
Thank you to everyone who came out and made it such a fun night! Who’s ready for a fantastic Scout year ahead? 🍿🧱

Huge congratulations to Troop 79G on crossing the milestone of our very first summer camp! ⛺✨
Woodruff Scout Camp up in Blairsville is a beautiful spot, and tackling those mountain ridges and lakeside merit badges is no small feat. Seeing 3 of our 9 trailblazing girls team up with the 15 scouts from the boys' unit to dive into everything from outdoor skills to teamwork is exactly what Scouting is all about.
Those first summer camp memories—the early morning flags, the campfires, the shared triumphs, and even the bugs—are the ones that stick around forever. It was a massive success for both units and a proud milestone for all the leaders.
Florida welcomed us back, but here's to many more campouts and advancements for Troop 79G!
