Youth Mental Health Retreat

Youth Mental Health is important to the Greater Tampa Bay Area Council and we would like to offer a Youth Mental Health Retreat on August 16th thru the 18th to all youth scouters aged 14-21, in troops, crews and ships. 

We value the importance of a healthy school, work and life balance and would like to offer a weekend where there are no advancements, no trainings or expectations other to relaxing and getting tips on how to destress and do self care. 

We plan on offering classes such as- paddleboard Yoga, Healthy Eating even on a camping trip, how to study for the standardized testing, using music to guide your mood, breathing techniques to calm, how to recognize anger before it gets out of hand and much more. We want this weekend to help you before the next round of school starts and let you know how much GTBAC cares about our scouters. 

We will also be offering Youth Mental Health First Aid for Teens at the Service Center before this retreat and will have adult classes at the retreat as well.
