Southbounder District

Roundtables are held the first Thursday of each month at Messiah Lutheran Church.  The program starts at 7pm and ends at 8pm.  A variety of items are discussed including monthly Cub Scout themes.  Our roundtable does a terrific job to help leaders get informed about opportunities available to you.  If you are not a roundtable regular, start the New Year off right and join us for a night of fun and learning.  If you have questions concerning roundtable please contact Andrew Dilliner, at 233-8363 or Brandi DuBose, Cub Scout Roundtable Commissioner at 864-907-2239 or James Roberts, Boy Scout Roundtable Commissioner at 864-423-3401.

This year’s Annual Recognition Banquet will be held on February 4th at Messiah Lutheran in Mauldin.  Please see www.southbounder.comfor details on the event and to make reservations. If you have any questions please contact Andrew Dilliner at 233-8363.

Every unit in the Southbounder District has a charter that should have been completed by the December Roundtable. Thank you to everyone that was prompt in turning their charter renewal information in.  If there are any questions or if anyone needs help completing their recharters, please contact Andrew Dilliner, District Executive at 233-8363 ext.205.

This is the time of the year for the Blue Ridge Council’s annual Friends of Scouting pledge drive.  Southbounder has led the Council in family participation the past three years and plan on doing it again this year.  A district representative will be visiting every units’ Blue and Gold or Court of Honor in the next few months to ask for your participation.  The recognition patches this year have a great design and will be keepsakes for your patch collection and a commemoration of the 100^th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America.  If you would like to make a pledge please contact your District Executive, Andrew Dilliner at 864-233-8363 or Adilliner@Blueridgecouncil.org.

The Council’s most exciting pinewood derby event and a whole lot more is almost here! Spring blast will be held this year on March 20^th.  More information will be coming concerning events, location and this year’s t-shirt!  Be ready for all day fun and excitement.  If you have any questions or want to help out with this event, contact your District Executive and he will guide you to the right person. 

Thanks to everybody’s help, Southbounder ended this year with 1806 youth! This is a growth of 3.2%.  Yet again, this made Southbounder the largest district in the Blue Ridge Council.  During the summer months, your District Executive will be coordinating the fall recruitment schedule.  Thanks again for a successful 2009 recruitment drive!
