SWC History

Since 1968 SWC has built upon it’s history and it’s Scoutmasters to build traditions that are unique to SWC. With this section of the SWC Web Site we hope to bring you some of those Traditions that make SWC an unique event to Cobb Scouters. Even as the old Cobb District was broken apart in 1998, the three resulting Districts continued to use SWC as a Tri District event to get Scouters from all over Cobb County together for training, fun and fellowship.

How is all started can be told best from the words of the late Homer Powell, the first Scoutmaster of SWC. Here you can see the year thoughts and stuggles as SWC began as an event to teach Scout Leaders that they could take their Scouts out camping in the winter. Homer's Story
