ScoutFest
Riverside’s ScoutFest will be our opportunity to sell what scouting has to offer to local area families, with the intent to WOW them and entice them to register their youth into our program. We will offer a multitude of Scout-based activities for youth of all ages to participate in. Booths will be for both non-scouts and scouts to enjoy, though we do ask the non-scouts have priority at the booths. Events will take place at the Melbourne Auditorium (625 E Hibiscus Blvd, Melbourne, FL 32901) from 10am-3pm on Saturday, 10 September 2022, and is open to the public. All Riverside Scout Units are asked to participate and man 2 booths. This will be a fun and easy event for the units and scouts and is a way to celebrate scouting in our community. We plan on there being over 60 booths/vendors at ScoutFest.
