Thunderbird Update

Welcome to
Thunderbird District

 

We are the home to two National Parks in Florida. Everglades and Biscayne National Parks. We encompass from Florida City to SW 152 St. We have many great townships, cities and communities that make up our District. To name a few Florida City, Homestead, Naranja, Leisure City, Princeton, The Redlands, Silver Palms, Goulds, Perrines, Cutler Bay, Palmetto Bay. Many of these communities and cities got their names from the days of Henry Flagler's train route.
 
Thunderibird District which makes up South Dade is a proud and diverse district. We have many outdoor venues to pick from. Its the only district you can be kayaking to beautiful sunrise over Biscayne Bay and later set up camp to and see a magnificent sunset in the Everglades.
 
Our district has some of the best Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venturing Crews. I encourage you to visit them and join our District.
 
Sincerely,
 
Martin Guerra

 It was the best display that they have done in years. Next our Chapter won the Tom Tatham spirit award at the Lodge Banquet on 3\3\2012.  This award goes to the chapter with the best overall score from the afternoon competetions in seven events against the rest of the chapters in the lodge. The best news came at the end of the awards ceremony when our Andrew Crowe was chosen to recieve the Vigil Honor from the O\A. The highest honor bestowed on an arrowman . We are all proud of our boys in To-Hopki-Lagi, and especially Andrew for a wonderful year as our Chapter Chief. Thanks to everyone for a great year.

ABOUT THE ORDER OF THE ARROW

The Order of the Arrow is known to many as the National Honor society of Boy of America. To get into the OA a scout must receive 50% + 1 of votes from all the members of their troop. To be eligible to be voted into the OA a scout must be 1st class, having 15 nights camping over two years including one five-day trip, be registered with a troop, and exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their life. After they are voted in the must go through an Ordeal to become full fledged members of the Order of the Arrow.

Most of what happens in the OA is kept known only among its members. The OA believes in cheerful service and is always giving back to the community as much as possible.
