Free Morning Coffee!For those who require a little extra go juice in the early morning, rest assured that we will be serving free coffee to help you get your morning jolt.

Breakfast and Lunch

One of the highlights of the University of Scouting is the Scouting Midway. Multiple vendors provide access to Scouting products, in-formation on Scouting events and organizations, and information on exciting locations and activities for Scouts and Scout Units.

Our Midway includes vendors from all over Central Florida and beyond, including the Scout Shop which will be offering a variety of clothes, books, equipment, and special sale items. You can pick up a custom name tag created while you attend the event.

You will have an opportunity to learn about many of the area’s locations, attractions, and stores available to add fun program elements to your Pack, Troop, or Crew program. You won’t find a more convenient opportunity to build your Scouting experience. Our vendors are coming to meet you so plan some time to visit.

When you do, be sure to visit the Midway during registration in the morning (starting at 7:00 a.m.) and during your lunch period. The vendors in the Midway will begin departing around 2:30 p.m.
