Pumpkin Chunkin’ for Creature Safe Place ~ Nov 10
Troop 40038 is working with Creature Safe Place in Fort Pierce to turn tricks into treats after Halloween this year!
Every year Creature Safe Place collects uncut pumpkins leftover from Halloween decorations and turns them into food for the animals in their sanctuary! They get lots of donated pumpkins, but they need help cutting them into bite-sized and store-able pieces.
That’s where you come in!
Join us on Sunday, November 10 from 12pm to 5pm at Creature Safe Place, 4500 McCarty Road, Fort Piece, FL 34945 to chunk, chop, and bag up all the orange gourd-y goodness. Bring your own implements of dismemberment if you have them, or borrow ours! (Camp hatchets, cleavers, and chef’s knives work very well.)
This is a drop-in and drop-out community service event, you do not need to volunteer the entire time!

Gemini Service Unit Ingathering ~ Escape to Abalufa ~ March 14 – 16
Our annual Ingathering camporee has a date, a location, and a theme!
All we need is YOU!
This year’s Ingathering is called “Escape At Ahbalufa” and as you might have guessed it will take place at Camp Ahbalufa in Fort Piece on March 14 – 16, 2025.
The theme of this year’s Ingathering is mysteries, puzzle solving, and detective work, and we will be earning badges related to that theme for each level over the weekend.
Each campsite will be asked to contribute to the fun by designing an “escape room” style puzzle scenario or other mystery to solve within their campsite, to be experienced by the other troops / campsites who will all rotate through the various sites.
Alongside the mystery and fun will be food, songs, and fun with our sister Girl Scouts!
This is an excellent opportunity for new troops and younger troops to get a taste of the camping experience a little closer to home, while more experienced and older troops get to show of their creativity and enjoy the company of each other.
For everyone, it’s a fantastic time to make new friends and meet the old, as this is the one time every year that all our troops can come together!
Registration will be $35 per person, with a deposit and rough roster due in December.
You do NOT need to have a camp trained volunteer to participate in Ingathering. If you are a new troop without a camp trained volunteer, let us know when you submit your deposit and we will try to partner you with a camp trained troop so that you can share in the benefits!
Now that the new membership year has officially begun, if you need help with changes to your roster please reach out to Jessica Gonzalez at [email protected]
Our next Service Unit meeting will be Monday, November 4 at 7:00pm, on Zoom.
