Foothills District Day Camp will be held June 14-18, 2010 from 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM, at First United Methodist Church right off Marietta Square. Let's all get ready to Party With the Pack!!

February 8 is the official date of the Boy Scouts of America 100th Birthday. To show your support of this major milestone, please help celebrate by wearing your uniform to school or to work!

The 2010 Family Friends Scouting campaign is underway.  You can make your pledge online using our FOS Online Pledge Form.  For more information on Family FOS you can download the FOS brochure and Pledge Card.  To schedule the Friends of Scouting presentation for your unit, please contact Richard Skoonberg, 770-579-5703,

Program Concept: We want every Scout, adult leader, and Scouting alum to have the chance to be part of our biggest milestone yet—our 1OOth Anniversary Celebration. We want to fire up the passion for Scouting while giving everyone an opportunity to make a difference—and earn recognition. Through A Year of Celebration, A Century of Making a Difference, we will do just that.

In observance of the BSA Centennial, the Foothills district will plant 4 oak trees at prominent locations within the district. The pin oak trees, provided by Home Depot and Atlanta Area Council will be planted by our Youth and adult members.  The public are invited and encouraged to participate. Watch this space for dates, times, and locations around Marietta and Cobb County and how your unit might participate.  Further details will be announced as they are determined.  Contact  is Mike Cherches:

The Foothills District Fall Family Camping event, held in October at Bert Adams, was filmed for an episode of the TV show "Let's Go Camping" that was aired in December.  If you missed it on TV, you can now view it on YouTube.
