In 1957 Beymer United Methodist Church gave the property across from the church to Trailcraft Troop 123, our sister Scout unit. An old house was removed and Mr. Tommy Costello (the new Scoutmaster) and John Wood, Sr. (the new Committee Chairman) made plans to build a rustic scouthouse on the site. Using the fathers and scouts, construction started in 1958. The scouts cut the logs, had them run through a saw to square, then in an old ice house, scouts used adzes to give them the hewn look. The Ledger reports that the specification of the dimensions was built to accommodate two very old canoes that were acquired from the University of South Florida. The canoes are 35-feet long and seat 12 people. The storage area was built to be 40 feet long. USF used these canoes to race the sororities against the fraternities in the early days of the school. The Scouthouse was finished in 1962.
