Scout Tours

Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts can fulfill “Archaeology” and “Celebrating Community” badge activities by exploring the History Center’s galleries. Learn about the life of a Florida pioneer in our rustic Cracker cabin, watch a Florida cattle drive, or learn how to use the stars to navigate the high seas in our Treasure Seekers gallery. For no additional charge, a knowledgeable docent can help your scouts learn about Florida’s early native people, the events that caused Seminole Indian culture to adapt over time, and the industry that put Tampa on the map.
