FYRE Foundation Programs
Youth Scouting Program
The FYRE Foundation chose to franchise Boy Scouts of America (BSA) programs to serve its youth, as well as families and the local community. The youth programs and group associations belong solely to the FYRE Foundation. BSA and FYRE agree to the terms of the BSA franchise annually through a charter agreement with the BSA Greater Tampa Bay Area Council. The FYRE Foundation agrees to utilize BSA materials to meet the aims and value goals for the youth in the community to develop character, teach skills, serve the community, teach patriotism, and instill a duty to God.
FYRE’s Chartered Scouting Units
- Cub Scout Pack 481: Pack 481 is a family oriented youth group comprised of both boys and girls ages 6 to 10.5 years old in elementary school.
