The Blue Ridge Council will hold their annual Friends of Scouting banquet with special Honoree Sheriff Johnny Mack Brown.
Greenville, SC, April 18th – The Blue Ridge Council’s Greenville County districts will hold their annual Friends of Scouting Banquet to benefit upstate Scouting programs on Thursday, April 25th, 2019 at Holly Tree Country Club. The evening will combine local community members and leaders in support of Scouting in the Greenville area while honoring Sheriff Johnny Mack Brown with the Ralph Hendricks Award.
Johnny Mack Brown began his law enforcement career in Greenville, South Carolina as a Probation and Parole Officer. This experience served him well when he later became an investigator for the Solicitor’s Office of South Carolina’s 13th Judicial Circuit.
In 1976, he defeated the incumbent Sheriff of Greenville County and took immediate steps to modernize the Sheriff’s Office as a service-oriented agency. In the years that follow Sheriff Brown would be selected as President of the South Carolina Sheriff’s Association and it’s “Sheriff of the Year”, receive the National Sheriff’s Association’s coveted J. Stannard Baker Traffic Safety Award, and the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office would become the first agency in South Carolina to be accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc.
The Blue Ridge Council, Boy Scouts of America, founded in 1923 as the Greenville Council, provides Scouting programs to upwards of 7,000 youth in eight counties of the Upstate of South Carolina. (Abbeville, Anderson, Greenville, Greenwood, Laurens, Newberry, Oconee, & Pickens).
