Sapona (Sappony) is a Native American tribe that once resided in Rowan County. The tribe’s history is one of family bonds, hard work, moral values and loyalty. It is the history of a people whose lives changed with the changing of times — from hunters and farmers of pre-contact days to trading partners with the English during colonial times, from tenant and landed farmers throughout the 1800s and 1900s to a contemporary Indian people in a diversified world today. I think that the references to family bonds, hard work, moral values, loyalty and adaptability embody everything for which both scouting as a whole and our district should strive:
Thanks to everyone who participated in this process. We have a rich history as the Rowan District and I look forward to seeing us begin to make an even richer one as we transition to the Sapona District. I am honored and proud to serve with each and every one of you as we make this program great for the youth we serve. Thanks so much for your past, present, and future leadership and service. Your impact is extraordinary. Have a joyous holiday and let’s make 2016 our best Scouting year yet. Jake Parrot District Chairman ![]() |
