The Georgia-Carolina Council is proud to celebrate the remarkable achievements of Miles Williams, a dedicated Scout who has demonstrated extraordinary growth and leadership through his Scouting journey. Miles, who initially joined the Scouts as a reserved and quiet boy, has developed into a confident and articulate young leader, making a lasting impact on his community.

Homeschooled and known for his intelligence and drive, Miles initially found it challenging to engage with others. Through his work in Scouting—especially his commitment to fundraising for his troop and council—Miles has undergone an inspiring transformation. His newfound confidence and leadership skills have allowed him to speak with ease to potential donors, passionately explaining how their support contributes to the success of Scouting and its positive impact on youth like him.

Miles’ hard work and determination has earned him the title of top seller in the entire Georgia-Carolina Council, raising over $10,000—an incredible feat for any Scout. These funds will not only benefit his Troop and the Council but will also help Miles achieve his personal Scouting goals, including participating in outdoor adventures and advancing in rank.

“Miles' story is truly inspiring,” said Dan Rogers, Scout Executive of the Georgia-Carolina Council. “His growth and achievements highlight the power of Scouting to help young people build confidence, develop valuable skills, and make meaningful contributions to their communities.”

With support from his family, who tirelessly worked alongside him, Miles was the sole seller in his unit, demonstrating his commitment and resilience. His success in fundraising is a testament to the impact of the Boy Scouts of America, which empowers youth to reach their full potential through character-building programs and service opportunities.

Miles’ journey reflects the mission of the Georgia-Carolina Council and the BSA: to equip young people with the skills, confidence, and leadership abilities they need to succeed in life and positively impact the world around them. His story serves as an inspiring example of how Scouts are not only learning to be leaders, but also actively contributing to their communities.
