Welcome from the Chairman

Welcome to the Sweetwater BSA web site. Whether you are first time visitor or a regular, we hope you will find this site helpful. The Sweetwater District provides scouting for youth located in Southern Gwinnett and Walton Counties for the NE Georgia Council. The Sweetwater District has professionals assigned by the Council to provide resources and assistance that result in a quality scouting experience. You will see names and linked email addresses below for our professionals. Many scouting volunteers provide the balance of energy and leadership. Sweetwater is blessed to have strength and dedication offered by its volunteers and professional staff. I encourage you to explore this site. We have many links within and to other outside scouting resources.  Of particular note, please take a moment to look at menu item “Roundtable”. The adult leadership for both Boys Scout and Cub Scout units meet once a month. At a minimum, each unit should have at least one representative attend. There is no limitation as to how many adult leaders may attend. This is the primary communication vehicle for sharing information to help you produce the best scouting experience for your unit. We discuss for example upcoming programs and events.  Frequently fresh and novel ideas are circulated here. Roundtable is very informative and will make it easier for your unit to succeed. If you have a need for information or have a question, you may contact our district professionals or the district volunteer leadership. The senior volunteer leadership is aligned as follows:    

Tom Holloman              Chairman

 William Rambow        Vice Chairman 

• Manpower

• Finance

• Camp Promotion

• Program

• Youth Protection

McK King                    Vice Chairman

Please ask your adult leaders to review and update their training. Our youth expect nothing less. On a closing note, our future is guided by the upcoming centennial celebration for scouting in 2010. Sweetwater has been very good over the years to provide an excellent quality scouting experience. I like to think that the work we do in Sweetwater is “Simply the Best”. Good luck and good scouting.

Tom Holloman
