BIG HOW!
Knowing that shad (fish) swim from the ocean into rivers to spawn in April each year, coastal fishing tribes named the April moon the “Fish Moon”. The Apache and Algonquin Nation Chiefs would like to invite all boys tribes to join us under the Fish Moon at Hanna Park for the 2019 Boys Spring Longhouse. It is only fitting that this camp out by the sea, under the Fish Moon, will be filled with activities in and around the water.
We start this longhouse with an event that hasn’t happened before: a fishing tournament. Bring your best rod, reel, lures, and bait. You can fish in both the Atlantic Ocean and the stocked 60-acre pond. The tournament starts on Friday afternoon and goes until sunset on Saturday. You will need to pick up a tournament rules flyer before you start fishing. Photo proof will be required (as specified in official rules). Don’t forget sunscreen and a hat!
On Saturday, we’ll have our opening ceremony on the beach, followed immediately by a tribe sand-sculpting contest and the ever-popular egg toss. Bring your own sand shaping equipment. After lunch we’ll have two more events. First will be the return of the tribe canoe relay, and then we’ll move to the field near the canoe shack for a target accuracy challenge. This will test dads and kids skills at hitting targets with bean bags, frisbee’s, footballs, etc.
As always, there will be a federation feast on Saturday night. Beach party fare will be provided in the form of chicken breast, hamburgers, hot dogs, and bratwurst. Tribes to provide award-seeking side dishes. While tribes are preparing their side dishes, the kids can get in their last few casts in hopes of winning the fishing tournament.

Federation Service Project
2019-03-30 09:00 - 12:00 | Hanna Park, 500 Wonderwood Dr, Jacksonville, FL, 32233, United States
This year we’ll be working with the Timucuan Parks Foundation with some “lopping and chopping” to clear the extensive biking and hiking trails at Hanna Park. We’ll meet up just before 9am on Saturday, March 30th and be grouped with members of SORBA (The Southern Off-Road Biking Association) to guide us to the trails most in need of our help. We’ll be cutting branches, clearing brush, and dragging it all off the trails. They have had girl and boy scout groups with 5 year old kids doing this work in the past, so age shouldn’t limit anyone’s ability to participate.
After the work is done, we’re free to enjoy Hanna Park and stay until it closes. Hiking, biking, canoeing, beach, picnic in the park, whatever you want. The boys had so much fun at Hanna Park for their last spring longhouse that they’re going back this spring. If your girls haven’t been, you should spend the day to preview the Spring Longhouse venue.
Not only is park admission free that day, but we have also arranged for free camping the night after our service project. Saturday night, we have room for 30 people to camp in the special scouting area of the park. This is primitive camping only, so there will not be electricity and no campers/popups are allowed.
Last, but not least, the UNF Astronomy students will be present on Saturday night to let our kids look through their fancy telescopes. You really don’t want to miss that.
This is the only Federation-sponsored service project this year. Remember that two service projects are required to qualify for OWB. Let’s show up in force, and help make a difference in “forest, field, and stream” this year.
Please sign up on CircleBridge before March 20th to participate in the service project and for the optional camping.
