The Georgia-Carolina Council on Jan. 1 welcomed Wesley Brown as the new district executive for its Creek River District, which serves Richmond, Burke, Emanuel, Jefferson and Jenkins counties.

Wesley, a native of Atlanta, earned Eagle Scout honors in October 2002 at the age of 16 while a member of Troop 1776 in Marietta, Ga.

The son of an Eagle Scout, Wesley was awarded a bronze palm before leaving the troop.

Wesley comes to Georgia-Carolina Council after seven years as an award-winning journalist. He reported on a wide range of topics, from crime and courts, to local and federal government, as a member of one weekly and three daily newspapers in North Carolina and Georgia, including The Augusta Chronicle. During his time as a reporter, he won nine awards, including first place in 2015 for hard news writing in the Georgia Press Association's Better Newspaper Contest.

With a Bachelor's degree in mass communications from Georgia College & State University and a passion for the Scouts and helping young people, Wesley joins the council in hopes of a cquiring new skills in fundraising, volunteer recruitment and nonprofit programming.

Dear Scouts and Scouters:

At the 2017 National Jamboree, you can experience all the thrills of extreme outdoor sports, tons of interactive exhibits, a day of local community service across West Virginia, awesome arena shows, and fireworks, and of course wi-fi throughout.

As the Georgia-Carolina Council beings to plan for the 2017 National Jamboree more than 2 years before the big event, we want you to plan to go with us to join 35,000+ other Scouts and Leaders for 10 days of adventure.

The dates of the Jamboree are July 19-28, 2017 and the fee (including travel to/from WV, pre-Jambore e tour, shakedown camping trip, the jamboree fe e, 10 days of meals, and Troop/Patrol gear such as tens, cots, etc.) is estimated to be $1500- $1650. While many of the  final costs are still unknown and unknowabl e at this early date it's not t oo early to begin planning. (We will keep everyone updated on fee estimates as we learn more)

Scouting Youth (Boy Scouts and male/female Venturers) are encouraged to apply, subject to a minimum age requirement. A number of Adult unit leader positions are open too.

Youth and Adults can find additional details and need to register online CLICK HERE. Also contact the Georgia-Carolina Council Office to put your name on the list and make your $100 deposit; also begin making monthly regular payments. Look for information soon on a local payment plan and dates.
