🐾 Jimmy Carter: A True Lion 🦁
Did you know that President Jimmy Carter was a Lion? 🦁✨
Before he became the 39th President of the United States, Carter was a dedicated member of Lions Clubs International, committed to service and making a difference in communities.
One special moment in our local history—he once spoke at the Alachua Lions Club Cattleman’s Banquet, leaving a lasting impact on those in attendance. His dedication to service, leadership, and humanitarian efforts perfectly embodied the Lions’ motto: “We Serve.”
A true Lion in every sense—leading with courage, heart, and an unwavering commitment to helping others. 🏆

2024 - Scout Hut Dedication.
Alachua Scout Hut Dedication Marks a Milestone for Community and Scouting
Alachua, FL – Sept 2024– The City of Alachua celebrated a momentous occasion in 2024 with the dedication of the newly restored Alachua Scout Hut, a cherished community landmark that has long served as a hub for local scouting programs. The dedication ceremony, attended by city officials, community leaders, and local scout troops, honored the legacy of scouting in Alachua and the collaborative efforts that made this restoration possible.
A driving force behind the project’s success was the Alachua Lions Club, whose unwavering commitment and generous contributions played a pivotal role in bringing the vision of a revitalized Scout Hut to life. Through fundraising efforts, volunteer work, and strategic partnerships, the Lions Club worked tirelessly to ensure that future generations of scouts would have a dedicated space to develop leadership skills, engage in service projects, and foster a strong sense of community.
We are incredibly proud to see the Alachua Scout Hut restored to its former glory. This project embodies the spirit of service and community that the Lions Club stands for, and we are honored to have played a part in preserving this space for local scouts and the broader community.
The restoration project focused on structural enhancements, modernized facilities, and aesthetic improvements while preserving the historical charm of the Scout Hut. These renovations ensure that the building remains a safe and welcoming environment for scouting activities, youth programs, and community events for years to come.
City of Alachua officials expressed gratitude to the Lions Club and all those who contributed to the project. The dedication of the Alachua Scout Hut is a testament to what can be achieved when a community comes together with a shared vision. We thank the Alachua Lions Club and all partners for their dedication to this cause.
The dedication ceremony featured speeches from key stakeholders, a ribbon-cutting event, and a tour of the newly renovated facility. Scouts from local troops also participated in the event, showcasing the continued impact of scouting in the Alachua community.
