We are proud to host the seventh annual “Friends of Scouting” Golden Eagle Luncheon honoring Eagle Scout Doug Cates.

The event, which is held to present the council’s Distinguished Citizen Award, was started in 2018 to honor those who personify what Scouting represents – good citizenship, outstanding moral fiber with a dedication to others, and for living their lives by the Scout Oath and Law. Recipients are  to honor community leaders who provide outstanding civic service to adults and youth in the area and lift future generations of young people through supporting the mission of Scouting’s Georgia-Carolina Council. Previous Recepients include Major General Perry Smith, Mrs Anne Boardman, Rick and Robin Allen, Honorable Judge Carl Brown, Randy Hatcher and Eagle Scout Will Morris IV. 

We are excited to share our guest speaker will be Eagle Scout and World Record Holder Dr. Michael Vaill. Michael is an Eagle Scout from Troop 2 in Evans Georgia. In October he and his climbing partner Tanner Wanish set the record for climbing the Yosemite Triple Crown in 17 Hours and 55 minutes, beating the previous record by an hour. Ten days later they created an entirely new standard by climbing the Yosemite Quad in 21 hours and 50 minutes. This feat had never been accomplished before. 

Beyond being the primary fundraising event for local Scouting, this event has become a local tradition to remind the community of the positive impact Scouting has on young people – the future leaders of our community. Scouts don’t just enjoy the outdoors; they learn values and skills that will last a lifetime.

Please mark January 30th on your calendar and RSVP below to join your friends and Scouting family for an amazing celebration of our community and Scouting!
