The Silver Comet Boy Scout Fall Camporee is coming October 27-29, 2017.
“Be prepared” to defend the Galaxy during our “Scouts of the Galaxy” themed Camporee. The only way to defend the Galaxy is with teamwork. Activities will include team building games and competitions using scout skills, out of the box thinking, and TEAMWORK.
Saving the Galaxy is cause for celebration and the Saturday night campfire will include songs, skits and awards.
Will the Galaxy be saved? You’ll only know if you go to the Silver Comet Fall Camporee!
Recharter Day 2017 will coincide with this year's Turkey Shoot on November 4th at the Stout Property on Brownsville Road. Many of our Troops will remember this location from past Camporees.
Remember that the recharter process and the deadline for Silver Comet Units has moved forward to match the calendar year.
Additional details of this year's recharter process will be announced at the August Roundtable so be sure to send someone from your unit to get the latest information.
Let's go for 100% on time recharters in the Silver Comet District!

Our June 2017 Silver Comet Day Camps at Kennesaw United Methodist Church and Bethany United Methodist Church saw over 340 Cub Scouts spend a "Creepy Crawly" week of excitement, fun, learning, and exercise as they tackled a full program of activities and events and formed their own "Bug Squad".
More than 40 Siblings,130 Boy Scout and Venturer Den Chiefs, and 25 Teen Assistants (Girl Scouts and older Sisters) were right there with the Cub Scouts helping with every part of the week’s program and sharing in the fun.
And, of course, guiding the whole show and watching over all of the Youth were more than 200 Adults who so generously gave their time and focused their thoughts on the safety of all of the Youth and the quality and success of every activity and event throughout the week.
A standing Round of applause goes to all of the Adult Volunteers, and we especially recognize our Camp Directors and Leaders who spent many months preparing this fantastic experience for our Silver Comet Cub Scouts and their Families.
On behalf of the Silver Comet District, “Thank You” to our Camp Directors Dalia Wyman, Clint Pope, and Lindsey Nolan, our Program Directors Jennifer Kane and Torie Shores, and our Admin/Registrars Addie Outlaw and Cathie McCabe, and many, many others for two great weeks of Cub Scout Day Camp.
And let's not forget our District Executives Kevin and Drew who provided their support throughout the planning stages, then donned their tshirts and joined in the fun.
Do you want to lead your Cub Scouts into the great outdoors and spend a night or two camping?
Then you'll need to be BALOO Trained, and the Silver Comet Trainers are ready and waiting to make sure you get the information you'll need for a safe and fun-filled outdoor adventure for your Pack.
