Lodge Chief - Robert Connor

Meet the Chief
Since I was a young and eager tiger scout, I have always enjoyed scouting’s adventure. Now, as an Eagle Scout and a Vigil Honor Member from troop 30 I look forward to serving the Lodge and the Northwest Georgia Council for my third term as Lodge Chief. I can honestly say that being Lodge Chief has impacted my life more than I could ever express, and it is an experience that I will never forget. Throughout my time in the Lodge I have also had the privilege of serving the Lodge as the Vice Chief of Ceremonies and Ordeal Chairmen.
Outside of Scouting I am a Second Degree Black Belt, and an Assistant Instructor. I also attend Rome High School where I am a Senior who is currently the Senior Class Treasurer, FBLA President, National Honor Society Vice President, and a Student Ambassador. I also greatly enjoy serving as a member of the Student Leadership Team at West Rome Baptist Church.
All in all, I look forward to another amazing year and fulfilling my obligations to Scouts of the Northwest Georgia Council as the Chief.
In Service,
​Robert Connor
