COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS
Connecting Scouts, Families, and Communities
This page serves as a curated guide to community events, outdoor adventures, service opportunities, and family activities throughout the Silver Comet District and Cobb County. Our goal is to help connect Scouts, leaders, and families with activities that encourage service, outdoor adventure, learning, and community involvement.
Events shared here are intended as informational resources for our Scouting community. Unless specifically noted, the inclusion of an event does not constitute an endorsement by Scouting America or our district. We encourage units and families to review each opportunity and determine whether it is a good fit for their interests and needs.
If you know of a community event that would benefit our Scouting community, we'd love to hear about it. Email communityevents@silvercometdistrictbsa.org with the event info at least two-weeks prior.
PLEASE NOTE: We are unable to post individual unit-sponsored events.
