⚜️ 12 Years of Leadership. Hundreds of Lives Changed. A Legacy That Will Last Forever. ⚜️

Today, we want to take a moment to thank Mr. Michael Lofendo for 12 incredible years of dedication, leadership, and service as Cubmaster of Pack 325 and Scoutmaster of Troop 2.

Michael, hundreds of young lives have been forever changed for the better because of your guidance, patience, encouragement, and unwavering support.

There are countless scouts, Arrows of Light and Eagle Scouts who know one thing for certain: You never gave up on them, even when they may have wanted to give up on themselves. You challenged them, pushed them to reach their full potential, and reminded them that they were capable of more than they ever imagined.

You didn't just help young people earn badges and advance in rank. You helped build confidence, character, leadership, and a sense of responsibility that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives.

And let's not forget the countless families whose lives you have touched along the way.

While we know you are stepping down from the top seat, we are incredibly grateful that you aren't going far and will continue to be part of our Scouting family. After all, once a Scoutmaster, always a Scoutmaster! ❤️

Michael, thank you for the campouts, the lessons, the memories, the patience, and most importantly, for believing in our kids.

Your legacy isn't measured in years served, but in the hundreds of young men and women who are better people because you were part of their journey.

From your Pack 325 and Troop 2 families, THANK YOU!

⚜️ Once a Scout, Always a Scout.⚜️

🏕️🎒 A HUGE Scout Thank You to REI Sarasota!⚜️

Our Troop would like to give a heartfelt THANK YOU to REI and the incredible team at REI Sarasota!

Every Scout who attended received a FREE hiking backpack valued at $279 each!🎒❤️ What an incredible and generous gift to our Scouts and their families!

But the generosity didn't stop there! The REI team took the time to personally fit each Scout with their new backpack and teach them how to properly pack, adjust, and prepare it for their next outdoor adventure.

This wasn't just a donation of equipment. It was an investment in our youth, teaching them valuable outdoor skills, building confidence, and helping them live the Scout motto: BE PREPARED!⚜️

We are beyond grateful to REI Sarasota for their kindness, generosity, and commitment to supporting the next generation of outdoor adventurers.

Thank you for making a difference, one Scout and one backpack at a time! ❤️

🥾🌲 Adventure awaits!

Born in Harlem to Jamaican immigrant parents and raised in the South Bronx, Colin Powell became one of the most influential military and diplomatic leaders in American history.
A graduate of City College of New York, Powell entered the U.S. Army through ROTC and went on to a remarkable 35-year military career, rising to four-star general. He served as National Security Advisor, Commander of U.S. Army Forces Command, and, from 1989 to 1993, as the 12th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff—the highest-ranking military position in the Department of Defense. He oversaw 28 crises, including the invasion of Panama and Operation Desert Storm.
In 2001, Powell became the 65th U.S. Secretary of State, the first Black American to hold the position. He later received numerous military and civilian honors, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom twice, Congressional Gold Medal, Presidential Citizens Medal, Purple Heart, and the Silver Buffalo Award from the Boy Scouts of America.
Powell often credited Scouting with providing essential building blocks for his life, particularly the values of leadership, responsibility, and service.
In a 2017 letter to the TMR Alumni, General Powell fondly recalled his Scouting days, remembering hiking “across the George Washington Bridge and camping in some woods along the cliffs in Englewood” (Alpine Scout Camp).
While Powell was not a TMR camper, his Scouting story is an important part of the remarkable history of New York City Scouting.
From the South Bronx to the highest levels of the U.S. military and government, Colin Powell exemplified a life of leadership, service, and achievement.

Walt Disney’s story is a great reminder that the lessons of Scouting can stay with you for a lifetime. ⚜️✨

As a young boy, Walt Disney was a Scout, and the values of service, imagination, leadership, and adventure that shaped his early years would later become hallmarks of the stories and experiences he created for generations.

Disney maintained a strong connection to Scouting throughout his life and was later recognized with the Silver Buffalo Award, Scouting’s highest national-level recognition for distinguished service to youth.

From a young Scout with big dreams to one of the world’s most influential storytellers, Walt Disney showed just how far curiosity, creativity, and a spirit of adventure can take you.

Once a Scout, always a Scout. ⚜️🏕️✨
