The Georgia-Carolina Council, Boy Scouts of America, will be moving to a new 26-acre facility in Evans, Georgia, which will be operated as the GCC Adventure Center. The former Augusta Jewish Community Center has been purchased by theGeorgia-Carolina Nature and Adventure Center, LLC. which has provided the Boy Scouts with a long-term charitable lease.  

The facility includes a pool, 230-seat banquet hall/conference room, commercial kitchen, pond, and more. The Scouts plan to run a variety of programs including Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing, Exploring, day camps, school-based STEM, leadership and nature education, swimming and lifeguard lessons, and other community-based activities. The 230-seat hall is available for rent. The council offices and store will also be housed at this new location.  

Scout Executive Daniel Rogers said, “This new facility will allow us to bring Scouting and other community-based programs to the CSRA, and to serve the community in new and better ways. The variety of programs we can offer is tremendous, and we look forward to partnering with other non-profits, local business, and families.” 

The Georgia-Carolina Council serves about 1,400 area youth and 500 adult volunteers in 16 local counties, including Richmond, Columbia, and Aiken. Nearly 330 new families from the area joined the council Scouting program in 2021. Enrollment is open year-round. To join Scouting today, go to www.BeAScout.org.
