Announcing NESA Gathering

 

The Georgia-Carolina Council will hold an Eagle Gathering to Organize a NESA Chapter.

 

On Thursday March 26 at 6:30pm the Georgia-Carolina Council will hold a gathering of all Eagle Scouts for a social welcome and meeting to discuss the formation of a chapter of the

National Eagle Scout Association. All Eagle Scouts are invited regardless of when or where you eared the Eagle Award.

 

The meeting will take place in the council service center located at 4132 Madeline Drive in Augusta. Refreshments will be provided and a brief program will follow discussing the purpose and benefits of a NESA Chapter.

Jimmie Dyess Days Approaching

 

Mark your calendars for October 9-11, 2015 for the Jimmie Dyess Days Event to be held at Fort Gordon on Barton Field.

 

This is the third edition of Jimmie Dyess Days also known as JDD and the planning committee has been meeting for a few months already on what promises to be an exciting program full of fun and adventure.

 

While this will be a great time and lots of things to do it will take several volunteers to make the event happen and the committee is beginning to assemble the manpower.  If you are interested in supporting the event please let us know and we will be happy to find a job for you.  At this time we ask that you send us your name, phone number and email so we can reach out to you with a list of things to volunteer for.

 

Thanks and see you in October. Sneak Peek Flyer
