Friday June 16 – S.C.E.N.E. Project

The Florida Sea Base became the first Scouting facility in the world to be designated as a Scout Center of Excellence for Nature and Environment. (S.C.E.N.E.)

Our Brinton Center S.C.E.N.E. project was to take kayaks out to the edge of the Red Mangrove trees that line the Atlantic Ocean side of the Brinton Center and gather trash from the edge of the Red Mangrove and the water. The trash was blown into the Red Mangrove during the 2005 hurricane season.

The S.C.E.N.E report as written by Zach:
The crew used kayaks to navigate around the red mangroves to clean any garbage found among them. The crew collected plastic crates from the channel. Three garbage bags were filled and disposed of. One hour of work was completed by the crew to make the Brinton Center a better place.

By completing a similar home project, the crew will earn a S.C.E.N.E. segment patch.
