HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Happy New Year!  Thank you for serving as a volunteer leader in the Atlanta Area Council.  We hope that you are as excited as we are for a fun, and impactful, year of Scouting in 2017! 
 
In 2017, the Atlanta Area Council is re-committing ourselves to Scouting's time-honored ideals of leadership, achievement, character, service, and fun.  These ideals are what make us all Scouts. 
 
On behalf of the Atlanta Area Council, we wish you a wonderful year of Scouting memories ahead! 

Yours in Scouting,

Sign up for a kickoff today to learn more about the sale and receive your 2017 cards. Camp Card Kickoffs will be held February 1st and 4th at the Volunteer Service Center.

SCOUT SUNDAY/SABBATH
As part of the Scouts' Duty to God, your Unit is invited to participate in Scout Sabbath on February 11th or Scout Sunday on February 12th. Celebrate the legacy of Scouting and the twelfth point of the Scout Law with your Chartered Organization or Religious Institution.  We have created free downloadable bulletin inserts that your Unit can share with your congregation.

SCOUT DAYS
Scout Days are unique opportunities for your family to attend exciting events around the Atlanta Area with other Scouting families. All Scout Days are offered at a discounted price for admission, and a portion of the proceeds from each Scout Day goes back to the Atlanta Area Council. Scout Day at Georgia Tech, Scout Day at the Circus and Scout Day with the Hawks are just a few of the awesome opportunities in 2017.
