Troop Leader to Troop Leader: The Smarter Way to Get to Sea Base

You’ve booked the adventure. You’ve rounded up the waivers. You’ve prepped the scouts.
Now you just have to get everyone from the airport to Sea Base — without losing your sanity.

If you’re a Boy Scout Troop Leader heading to Sea Base in the Florida Keys , this one’s for you.

🚐 The Typical Plan: Rent a Van & DIY the Drive

It seems simple:
Rent a van at MIA or FLL, pile in the scouts, and head south.

But here’s what that actually looks like:

  • Navigating busy rental counters in a crowded airport
  • Driving unfamiliar highways in Miami or Fort Lauderdale traffic
  • Managing behavior, directions, pit stops, and timing — all at once
  • And taking on  full responsibility for the vehicle, the drive, and every scout inside

You’re not just the leader — you’re suddenly the driver, coordinator, GPS, and adult in charge of everything that happens from curb to camp.

That’s a lot of weight to carry before your crew even hits the water.

🚌 The Other Option: Combine Forces, Share a Bus

Some leaders try to cut costs by teaming up with other troops and renting a charter bus.

Sounds smart… until the flights don’t land at the same time.

  • One delayed flight? Everyone waits
  • Multiple troops = multiple personalities, expectations, and challenges
  • You could be stuck outside the terminal for hours
  • With dozens of restless, overheated, impatient teenage boys onboard

It’s not exactly the kick-off experience you had in mind for a high-adventure trip.
