A group of adventurists explored the Lake Wales Airport and received first class treatment. Scouting’s male and female youth and adult leaders participating in the 2024 Powder Horn course got the chance to learn the various components of a propeller airplane. Some even took to the air and operated the aircraft with the flight instructor.
The 2024 course was the largest and most robust course ever conducted by the Greater Tampa Bay Area Council in the last 15 years. There was participation from 11 different states and 18 councils. 50 course electives were available to participants.
Powder Horn is an amazing, out-of-the-box, mind-expanding course facilitated by the Greater Tampa Bay Area Council, Boy Scouts of America. It introduces and exposes Venturing and Scouting youth and adult leaders to the activities and resources necessary to operate a successful outdoor, high adventure unit-level program. Based on the eight core requirements and 18 electives of the Venturing Ranger program, Powder Horn helps adult leaders identify and use resources to conduct unit-level high adventure programs.
