The Scouts of 4

Founded in 1917, Troop 4 is one of the oldest continuously chartered Boy Scout Troops in America. Troop and Pack 4 has been home to thousands of Scouts, helping them to develop
self-confidence, ethics, leadership, academic, and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives. The Scouts travel the country to high-adventure bases, hike the Appalachian Trail, and attend both Summer and Winter Camps. Troop 4 has been responsible for awarding the Eagle Scout Rank to generations of Tampa’s finest young men. These individuals have led and shaped our community in dramatic ways.

Friends of 4 was formed in 2013, when the Scouts suffered the heartbreaking loss of the original Scout Hut, their home for nearly one hundred years. Since that time, volunteers with Friends of 4 Tampa, Inc. have been working to secure the legacy of this great organization. Today, the solution is evident and the goal is in reach with your help.

Friends of 4 took the first step towards this goal and acquired the land for the new Scout Hut in 2020.

Will you help ensure this continued success for the next 100 years?
