CELEBRATION OF SCOUTING BANQUET

Please mark your calendar for the 31st Annual Celebration of Scouting Banquet to be held on February 27, 2024. Join us to recognize the impact that local Scouting programs provide to our young people through the 20 counties of West TN Area Council.


Our Celebration Banquet is a wonderful tradition that recognizes our 2023 Class of Eagle Scouts, Venturing Summit Award Recipients, Outstanding Eagle Honoree James “JR” Ross, and our 2023 Silver Beaver Recipients Tom Roolf, Odie Haggard, John Vanhoose, and Kat Young. This is an evening to highlight the previous year’s accomplishments of our young people and keep the fires burning for future generations. There is no ticket cost for the Banquet; instead, you will be asked to pledge your financial support to Scouting.


All funds raised in support of this event stay local.  

The West Tennessee Area Council is its own 501 (C) 3 corporation.
