The Foothills District Banquet is held every year to recognize and honor those who have worked for a quality scouting program in Cobb County. The first banquet was in 1988 for what was then the Cobb district. Each year the Awards and Recognition committee selects one volunteer as the banquet honoree, and since 2000 the banquet has had an annual theme, which allows attendees to dress up and decorate tables in the spirit of the theme. Awards presented at the banquet include the District Honor Roll (Chicken Pin), District Award of Merit, Good Egg awards, Community Award for outstanding supporting organizations, and many others.
Note: awards presented were earned or awarded for the previous year.
