The District Program Committee is still looking for a few adults and older scouts to help out with our inaugural Cub Adventure Trail event. We expect the event to take place on Saturday morning, August 14th, at Green Meadow Preserve in Marietta (3780 Dallas Hwy, Marietta, GA 30064) but we have arranged a rain date of August 21st with the park. We still need adults to man a few activity stations, and older scouts to act as trail guides to shepherd small groups of Cubs and their parents along the Cub Adventure Trail. Scout volunteers will earn service hours! We are also in need of a few pop-up canopies to provide shelter to our station volunteers, and portable tables for the stations. If your unit or scouts are interested in helping in any way, please contact our Program Chair, Sharla Stewart, at progchair@silvercometdistrictbsa.org. Thanks in advance for helping to make this a fun event for our Cub Scout families!

At our District Ice Cream Social on June 10th, the Silver Comet District recognized individuals who go above and beyond to help deliver the promise of Scouting to the youth in their Pack, Troop, or Crew.

These individuals, who were nominated by their unit, received a certificate of appreciation and a Silver Comet Conductor's Award pin to mark their service. On behalf of the Silver Comet District Committee, our Commissioner Corps, your fellow Scouters, and especially our Scouts, congratulations and thank you to our 2020 Conductors!
