Community leaders and members of the Fayette business community will gather at the 2011 Fayette County Boy Scout Golden Eagle Dinner.
The second annual dinner is a fundraiser for the Flint River Council. Funds raised support the local scouting program and help keep the costs of scouting down for the local boys who participate in scouting. Last year’s dinner raised $67, 642 and organizers are hoping to top that number this year.
The Flint River Council, Boy Scouts of America, has served Fayette County since 1927, shaping the lives of young people by fostering the development of a strong values-centered life and training the leaders of tomorrow through a partnership with families and communities.
The 2011 Fayette County Boy Scout Golden Eagle Dinner will be held Thursday, Mar. 24 at Glendalough Manor in Tyrone. This year’s dinner will honor Dan Cathy, COO and President of Chick-fil-A, Inc.
Cathy will be recognized for exemplifying the Boy Scout law and oath in his life, through his work in the community and his support of scouting. Former Mayor of Peachtree City, Harold Logsdon is serving as the Golden Eagle Honorary Chairperson.
The evening will begin with fellowship at 6 p.m. followed by dinner and a program at 6:45 p.m.
There is no ticket cost to attend the event. However, attendees will be asked to pledge financial support to the Fayette County Scouting programs. Reservations may be made by contacting Peggy Murphy, Senior District Executive at 678-603-8445 or via email at peggy.murphy@scouting.org.
