South Georgia Council: A Legacy of Scouting in South Georgia

The South Georgia Council is the local council of Scouting America (formerly the Boy Scouts of America) serving youth and families across southern Georgia. Headquartered in Valdosta, Georgia, the council currently serves 28 counties and continues a long tradition of character development, leadership development, citizenship training, and personal fitness among young people throughout the region.

Although the South Georgia Council officially began in 2012, its roots extend much deeper through the histories of its predecessor councils — the Chehaw Council and the Alapaha Area Council. See our History page for more information.
