Our Activity Ideas, Month by Month page has suggestions for fun things you might do.  January highlights from that page include:

• January 1 is usually not a day Scouting Units do things, but you're not in school and most are not at work, so why not get out and scout!  Georgia State Parks offer "First Day Hikes" at many park locations.  You can join one of those groups, or you can go your own way.
• Maybe a Trip?  Some Packs go Caving at Raccoon Mountain in Chattanooga (or just outside Birmingham, at Majestic Caverns formerly known as Desoto Caverns), to Space Camp in Huntsville, to the Patriot’s Point Aircraft Carrier in Charleston or the Battleship in Mobile, or to the Hike Inn in North Georgia.  
• You might participate in an MLK Parade (an annual event) -- look for other MLK events too here. 
• Or go somewhere on the Great Big List of Places to Go and Things to Do ... contact destinations, see what you can do there, and what special events they are having. 

Did you know?  Camp Cards are an excellent way for Scouts to earn their way to do Scouting -- not just camping, but all of Scouting.

These cards, created in partnership with local and national businesses, offer discounts to supporters of Scouting who purchase the Camp Card. Cards are sold by Scouts to members of their community. Profits from these cards are split evenly between the council and the individual Scout. The funds a Scout earns can be used towards Summer Camp or other Scouting activities.

If like last year, Units participating in this program will earn 50% commission ($5.00) for each $10 Camp Card they sell -- so, for every $10.00 card sold, your Scout earns $5.00 for themselves or their Unit. The sale begins in February and ends in April - but you can register now to participate.  More information and registration information is at www.atlantabsa.org/campcards.

Registration is open at www.atlantabsa.org/keyleaders.  Event will begin with a breakfast and celebration of 2024 accomplishments, followed by the Key Leader Conference that will include plans for 2025 plus "breakout" meetings of District Volunteers interested in functions like Advancement, Training, Activities and Civic Service, Camping Promotion and "Key Three" Leadership.  This is the very best meeting that District Level Volunteers can attend to make a difference and make connections.
