First Post

Every blog has got to have one. A first post. I just wanted to introduce myself as the sole author of the blog and set the tone for what a reader such as yourself could expect to find here. First, the Brinton Environmental Center (Brinton Center, BEC, Summerland Base) is a high-adventure base run by the Boy Scouts of America as part of the Florida National High Adventure Sea Base. I am an employee of said organization, but this blog is entirely not officially affiliated with the Boy Scouts. Although I will only post information that is accurate to the best of my knowledge, your best course of action is to call the Florida Sea Base directly if you have any questions. Second, by reading this blog you can expect to be hear interesting going-ons at the BEC and more detailed accounts of crews that I am running and possibly pictures. I'll try to throw in some stories about the Keys history, ecology, community events and the like at times as well. Third, you can expect semi-regular updates! Obviously I have a job to do down here, but there is an utter lack of information regarding the programs run out of the BEC, official or otherwise. We do a lot of good, hard work changing the lives of Scouts and adults alike down at the Brinton Center and I want to shed some light on what a typical (if you can call anything we do typical) program entails.

I'm traveling to the Galapagos for school and will be arriving at the BEC on the 29th, so don't expect any posts until then unless I decide to write another one later today while I wait for paperwork to go through.
