Each trip is guided by a military veteran and sometimes local volunteers who generously donate their time and effort to serve combat veterans.
The FSO team seeks to pass on any fishing and outdoor related knowledge they've gained over the years while exploring the outdoors on past excursions. Our veteran guides have been fishing lakes and rivers around the United States for most of their lives.
It's no secret that spending time outside is great for mental health. Our ultimate goal is to put warriors in need into an environment where they can heal from the traumatic experiences they've endured.
On these events, some guests open up about their experiences. Likewise, others aren't ready for that. Both scenarios are just fine, and our goal is to have a good time with a fellow veteran.
When we take our guests out on the water, we're also trying to teach them the skills needed for them to carry on the tradition, and eventually take another veteran fishing down the road.
We're also working with sponsors to equip each veteran or family served with the equipment needed to explore the outdoors and continue fishing on their own after our trip is completed.
Fireside Outdoors Inc. is a registered 501(c)(3) organization that was founded by Tyson Scott, a veteran and former SSgt in the U.S. Marine Corps.
The mission of Fireside Outdoors is to serve combat veterans, and Gold Star families by helping them experience the healing power of the great outdoors. We accomplish this by creating an environment that allows our guests to decompress and simply enjoy nature with a fellow veteran.
"There's nothing like a long day of casting and battling fish, followed by an evening sitting around a campfire with your brothers and sisters." -Tyson S.
This is where the name "Fireside Outdoors" comes from. We hope to bring that campfire atmosphere to the water, on each and every trip!
Ultimately, our goal is to provide a healing environment for the warriors of our great nation as well as Gold Star families. We can only do this with the help of our generous donors.
To those who have generously donated in the past, and those that continue to do so...THANK YOU!
