Participating properties include:<\/p>\n<p>\u00b7 South Seas Island Resort, Captiva Island, FL<br \/>\n\u00b7 Casa Marina, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, Key West, FL<br \/>\n\u00b7 The Reach, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, Key West, FL<br \/>\n\u00b7 Hilton Key Largo Resort, Key Largo, FL<br \/>\n\u00b7 Buena Vista Palace, Orlando, FL<br \/>\n\u00b7 El Conquistador Resort, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, Las Croabas, Puerto Rico<br \/>\n\u00b7 Las Casitas Village, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, Las Croabas, Puerto Rico<br \/>\n\u00b7 Conrad San Juan Condado Plaza, San Juan, Puerto Rico<br \/>\n\u00b7 Hilton Rose Hall Resort &amp; Spa, Montego Bay, Jamaica<\/p>\n<p>As part of the new program, parents and their children are invited to \u2018scout about\u2019 on a self-guided nature and history tour in search of a variety of landmarks and local flora and fauna. Armed with a special ScoutAbout map customized for each property, families set out on a quest to collect a rainbow of colored wristbands at each of as many as 15 different on-property discovery points. Kids cannot help but learn as they explore and investigate.<\/p>\n<p>At the El Conquistador Resort in Las Croabas, Puerto Rico for example, kids search for Tamarind Trees, Coqui Frogs, Parrots, Miniature Horses and Conch Shells, all native to the environment. Meanwhile, at Casa Marina, A Waldorf Astoria Resort in Key West, Florida, the hunt is on for sightings of Tarpon, Loggerhead Turtles and the famed Sand Key Reef as well as historial points of interest such as the USS Vandenberg and Henry Flagler\u2019s Train Wheels.<\/p>\n<p>When each discovery point is found, kids locate a special sign post with information and history on that particular element. Before moving on to the next location on the map, they pick up the corresponding, color-coded wristband for that discovery point until they have collected a full set.<\/p>\n<p>Families are also encouraged to share their findings and ScoutAbout experiences with fellow \u2018scouts\u2019 via Facebook. Once they \u201clike\u201d the resort\u2019s Facebook page, they can post their own ScoutAbout photos and share their experiences. In the process, they become eligible for each hotel\u2019s \u201cTop Scout of the Week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on each resort\u2019s ScoutAbout program, details on value-filled summer packages and reservations at any of the participating ScoutAbout hotels or other LXR Luxury Resorts &amp; Hotels, call (877) 597-9696 or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.luxuryresorts.com\/\">www.LuxuryResorts.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just in time for summer, LXR Luxury Resorts &amp; Hotels is rolling out its new kids program called ScoutAbout at nine iconic, family-friendly hotels and resorts throughout Florida and the Caribbean.
