On April 19, 1925, a group of ten Eagle Scouts from the San Francisco Council gathered in the office of Scout Exec Raymond O Hanson. The purpose of the meeting was to create an organization which would hold the interest of older scouts and could serve as an additional incentive for others to attain the rank of Eagle Scout. The Golden Gate Area Council (GGAC) has dedicated volunteers bringing the benefits of the national association to Eagle’s and their families locally.
