This week we took our meeting on the road with an onsite visit to Scouting America, one of our long-standing community partners.

For more than 50 years, Buckhead Rotary has proudly supported Scouting America by funding Eagle Badges, helping recognize young leaders at one of the most meaningful milestones of their Scouting journey. We heard powerful remarks about the lasting impact Scouting has on young adults’ lives and how our consistent investment in Eagle Badges is unmatched.

The visit concluded with a special tour where we saw two of Norman Rockwell’s original charcoal drawings, his first step before full-color paintings, capturing Scouting’s ideals of helpfulness, kindness, and adventure.

A special thank you to Brandon Smith for hosting us and awarding me the dog care merit badge for our work with LifeLine Animal Project. I’m on my way to becoming an Eagle Scout, only 20 more badges to go.
