Scouting in Coral Gables.

Scouting is the evening your family spends together doing something real.

The Coral Gables community has been supporting Scouts since 1922, here, at the Scout House.

Watch a brief history of the city of Coral Gables, with a look at Scouting America campsites and the Scout House.

Camp

First tent, first fire, with you there.

Cub Scouting is a family program: a parent or guardian attends every den meeting, pack meeting and campout with their Cub, kindergarten through 5th grade. Pack 7 camps at Camp Everglades and closer to home, and you camp beside your Cub.

By sixth grade, they run it.

Troops are scout-led: the patrol plans the menu, cooks the breakfast, and pitches the camp at Camp Sawyer in the Keys. Adults are there to guide, keep everyone safe, and encourage each scout’s independence. Merit badges, ranks, and the long road to Eagle start here.

A troop of their own.

Troop 719 is the girls’ troop: same Scout House, same weekends, its own patrols, its own campfire. Formed in 2019 when the program opened to girls, led by families who have been here for decades. Moms and women leaders welcome.

Every Wednesday night, the flag goes up.

All four units meet at the Scout House beside the chimney that is all that is left of the 1926 cabin. Cubs and parents, the boys of Troop 7, the girls of Troop 719, and Crew 7 all come through the same door. Registration and dues get sorted after you have been once and decided to stay.
