George Merrick`s Troop 7 lifestyle

George Merrick was the founder of Coral Gables, Florida. He was a man ahead of his time in many ways, and one of those ways was his commitment to Troop 7.

Merrick believed that every boy should have the opportunity to experience the outdoors and learn how to be self-sufficient. Troop 7 was his way of making sure that boys from all backgrounds had that opportunity.

The Troop 7 lifestyle was simple but demanding. Boys were expected to be self-reliant and independent. They learned how to build shelters, cook their own food, and navigate by the stars.

This lifestyle instilled a sense of responsibility and self-reliance in the boys that lasted a lifetime. It is no wonder that many of the men who served in Troop 7 went on to have successful careers and lead happy, fulfilling lives.

The Troop 7 lifestyle is a testament to the power of simple living. By teaching boys how to be self-sufficient, George Merrick set them up for success in all areas of their lives.

Features of the campsite

The campsite was located in the Everglades and it had all the necessary amenities for the troop to be self-sufficient. There was a freshwater lake for drinking and cooking, a small garden for growing vegetables, and a wooded area for gathering firewood.

You can get there by car, or you can take a bus. Once you arrive at the campsite, you will need to hike in about a mile to reach the campsite.

The weather there can be quite rainy, so you should make sure your wipers and rear wiper blades are working before riding. If not, then you should replace them using the guide on wipersize.net.

The boys built their own shelters out of whatever materials they could find. They learned how to build fires and cook their own food. They also learned how to navigate by the stars.
