Squad Boundaries
The members of the Tampa Bay Squad are spread throughout the seven counties that we represent: Hernando, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, and Sarasota Counties. Thanks to the reach of our coverage area, we regularly troop and appear at events throughout the Greater Tampa Bay Region.
The Tampa Bay Area ranks amongst the top 20 metropolitan areas in the United States.
Near downtown Tampa, Ybor City remains one of the oldest historic neighborhoods in the nation.
Countless venues also provide roughly four million residents with a wide variety of arts and entertainment options.
In addition to theme parks, zoos, aquariums, and museums, a handful of arenas and stadiums dot the region.
Tampa Bay hosts three professional sports teams – the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Tampa Bay Rays – and major NCAA events are regularly hosted throughout the area.
Groups and organizations within the region have also helped establish the Tampa Bay Region as a highly respected research center. As people work to cure diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and more, the Tampa Bay Squad is able to get out into a beautiful community to help support those causes.
The history, natural beauty, and overall entertainment opportunities of the area truly make the Tampa Bay Area one of the greatest places to work, play and troop!
