Gwinnett County Commissioner, Lynette Howard, is hosting a reception to honor Gwinnett's 2015 Eagle Scouts.  All scouts from Gwinnett County who earned their Eagle in 2015 are invited along with family members and troop leaders.  The reception will be followed by the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners at which the Eagle scouts will receive a Resolution of Recognition.

We're partnering with Gwinnett County Parks for a service project that ALL Scout ages can attend!  Remember, most Boy Scout ranks now need service hours.  This project is open to all units - Cubs, Boy Scouts, Venture Crews, Order of the Arrow, etc.

We are pleased to announce that Wendy Nelson has been promoted to the position of Field Director effective January 16, 2016.  In this new position, she will be responsible for providing leadership and support to the executives serving Button Gwinnett, Appalachian Trail and Northern Ridge districts.  Wendy will report directly to Ben Buckelew, Assistant Director of Field Service, who will provide leadership and guidance to ensure her success in this role.

To All Unit Key 3’s in the Button Gwinnett District:

Your District's Key 3 would like to invite the Key 3 from all the units in the district to a Pow Wow on January 26, 2016 (7:00pm-8:30pm) at Christ the King Lutheran Church (5575 Peachtree Parkway, Peachtree Corners, GA 30092). 

There are new Boy Scout Requirements.  Here is a great blog post that discusses the changes.
