I have been privileged to be a part of this event for 18 years. It is a re-enactment of women and girls, all Girl Scouts. We become Spanish Colonial living historians for the weekend at the historic Fountain of Youth. I am also their photographer. I thought you might want to see some of what we do.

Thanks, our motto is " Learning from the past to enhance the future." The girls gain so much by experiencing this camp.

Thank you for your kind comment. We think so. The girls are very privileged to live near the oldest city in America, and be able to experience this. They have to go through an audition, training weekend, then have several weeks to study their information packets, and make their period correct outfits. We have a public day where troops, families, and tourists come to see us. I tell the girls they are a tourist attraction. They get a taste of life without all of today's technology and comforts.
