Look who is retiring!
After 26 years of dedicated service, Sims Bostic, Sr. District Executive is retiring from the Boy Scouts of America. Sims has served the Ronotohachi District (serving Lamar, Pike, Spalding and Upson Counties) for more than 5 years. On Friday, May 11, 2012 the Flint River Council will be hosting a "drop-in" reception for Sims from 4:00 PM till 6:00 PM. Please come by the Scout Office and join us in wishing Sims the best in his future endeavors. We will also have a memory box for you to leave your well-wishes, cards and any special mementos you would like to give Sims to help him remember his time at the Flint River Council.
