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:

Please ask your adult leaders to

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.
