History:

The Central Georgia Council is one of the largest councils in Georgia geographically, serving 24 counties of middle Georgia.  Over 5,600 youth are served each year in programs from first grade through high school.  About 1,800 adult volunteers serve Scouting under the guidance of a volunteer board of directors and a relatively small professional staff of six.  Assisting the volunteers and professionals is an administrative support staff of four and a full-time ranger.

Started in 1919, the Central Georgia Council has served many thousands of prominent alumni including former Senator and Eagle Scout Sam Nunn, the late Brig. Gen. Robert L. Scott, Jr., U.S.A.F. Retired, WWII Ace Pilot and author of “God Is My Co-Pilot” and the late Astronaut and Eagle Scout Manley L. “Sonny” Carter, Jr.  Also, Herschel Walker was a Cub Scout in the Central Georgia Council.

The Central Georgia Council has been recognized 9 of the past 12 years as a National Quality Council and in 2004, the council received a prestigious honor, the Suburban Business of the Year Award, from the Keep Macon-Bibb Beautiful/Cherry Blossom Festival Awards Committee.
