Come join a Gathering of Eagles

 

The Georgia Carolina Council National Eagle Scout Committee is sponsoring a Gathering of Eagles at Robert E. Knox Scout Reservation on Friday June 19.  Starting at 5:00 you will be able to visit a camp site and meet with the scouts and talk with them about scouting and your experience as an Eagle.  Dinner will be served at 6:30 in the dining area (the Sewell Center, building by the sports fields) where you will have an opportunity to learn about the newly formed Georgia-Carolina Council NESA Committee, its proposed plans and programs.Following that, at 8:00 we will join the weekly camp fire.

 

This event is open to all Eagles of all ages.  You do not have to be a member of NESA or the Georgia-Carolina Council NESA Committee to attend.  If you know any Eagles who are not registered scouts or scouters or who do not receive the 411, please invite then to attend.  There is no fee to attend but donations are welcome to offset the cost of the meal.

 

Please RSVP by June 17 to Regina Jeffries at 706-733-5277
