Brooksville Civil War Re-enactment

6/19/2021

0 Comments

 
"The Brooksville Raid is a reenactment of an 1864 Civil War battle where union troops landed at Bayport with four ships and marched inland to destroy Confederate supply and communication lines to the north. This is Florida's largest Civil War reenactment with over 1,500 re-enactors and their families."

Unfortunately, after 40 years, the Tampa Bay Council of the Boy Scouts of America, owners of the 1,300-acre Sand Hill Scout Reservation, the event’s home since 1991, decided not to renew the agreement with event co-sponsors. Why? “Ultimately, the committee determined it was not in the best interest of the scout council to continue.” He provided no other specifics. Those who would comment offered a) the recent racial unrest across the country, and b) fear of it being a racist event. Others feel and are saddened at the cancel culture that’s now encroached to our country.”
