Update: Micah Robinson Womack, District Banquet Chair posted in a chat "Please don’t forget to RSVP how many people will be attending our District Banquet this Saturday, February 8, 2025 @ 6:30 PM." (Micah's email is wrmicah48 at gmail.com)

A common tradition in “Districts” of Scouting America Councils is to gather annually at a Recognition Banquet in order to share fellowship, food, fun, festivity and recognize those leaders who are doing good things for our Scouts and the units that are engaging our Scouts.  This is a great time for Chartered Organizations to applaud the work of their leaders, for parents to recognize those who take their children out camping and lead them in den and pack meetings, and for all to reflect on the good things we've done for the Scouts.

From District Banquet Chair Micah Robinson Womack:  "Get Ready for a Back to the Future Night!

Do you like the new and simpler requirements for each Cub Scout Adventure?

• Where you don't have to pick and choose which requirements to do?
• Cool!  Simple.  Easy. 

But what about the new National Resources for each Cub Scout Adventure?  Are they Simple and Easy?

• You must pick and choose which which activities to do!
• You have to go somewhere else to find out how to do a Den Meeting!
• You have to assemble the activities you pick into the other parts of a Den Meeting!
• Is that Simple??  Is that Easy??  No.  We can do better.

To help den leaders, we've assembled 126 Cub Scout Adventures into a Den Meeting Plan format with added videos and tips to make leading Cub Scouts easier.  Really.  Click here for more, or keep reading below.  Email webmaster@southfultonscouting.com if you need a reminder about the login

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.

If you're no longer involved or interested in Scouting and you want to "opt out" of these messages, email the Webmaster and we'll drop you from the list.  But If you want to be "all in" on Scouting, see our Leader Training page (good resources for parents too through the National On Line Training site at ScoutingU with the same login as at My.Scouting.Org), and if you want the login codes, just email the Webmaster ...
