💙 Celebrating the Life of Bart Alcorn 💙

We invite you to join us as we come together to celebrate the beautiful life of Bart Alcorn — a husband, father, friend, and mentor whose big heart and bigger jokes touched everyone lucky enough to know him.

Please join Julie and the family on Saturday, September 19th from 2:00–5:00 PM at the 1123 House, 1123 Dogwood Rd, Snellville, GA 30078, as we gather to share stories, lean on one another, and honor the incredible life Bart lived.

The Scout Vesper service, a tradition that meant so much to Bart’s heart, will take place at 3:00 PM. Scouts, we’d love for you to wear your uniforms in tribute to him. And for everyone else… come as you are, or better yet, in your best dad joke shirt. Bart would want nothing more than to hear us laughing at every terrible pun. 😄

Flowers, plants, or donations in Bart’s honor are all warmly welcomed:
🌿 GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-julie-and-family-after-barts-loss
🍲 Meal Train: https://mealtrain.com/9d89mv

Bart’s spirit was one of laughter, love, and generosity — and we hope this celebration reflects that same joy. Please share this with anyone who knew and loved him.

With all our love,
The Alcorn Family

In Memory of Bart We’re heartbroken to share that Bart passed away this week after a sudden illness. He was a beloved husband to Julie, his wife of 33 years, and a proud dad to his two sons — the kind of dad who never met a pun he didn’t love, and who made sure everyone around him knew it. His...

One of our long time Scouters has Gone Home this week, Mr. Bart Alcorn.

Bart started in Cub Scouts and received his Arrow of Light.

Bart’s Boy Scout journey was primarily in Cambridge, Ohio in the River Trails District of Muskingum Valley Council. Bart earned his Eagle on September 15,1981 at 15 (and 1/2) in Troop 534. He was a Member of the Order of the Arrow. Bart also was a Summer Camp Counselor at the Muskingum Valley Scout Reservation for 3 years. Bart finished out his Boy Scout years in Lilburn in Troop 100 in the Alcovy District of the Northeast Georgia Council when his family moved here in his high school years.

Bart’s time as an Adult Scouter started in Greenville Scout Carolina with his first son as the Tiger Leader in Pack 221 in the Blue Ridge Council. He later served in that Pack as the Committee Chair and Cubmaster. He then joined Pack 564 here in our district with his son, AJ, where he served for four years as the Committee Chair. He would also serve as a committee member of Troop 580 and Troop 504. Both of his sons would earn Eagle as well.

Bart served diligently on our District Committee as our Eagle Board Chair in the Sweetwater District for the last 10 years. He always made sure that the boards were staffed, ready for the youth, and ran the right way. He also served as a Unit Commissioner and Merit Badge Counselor in our district for many years. He will be dearly missed by all of us.

There will be a celebration of life in September, details will be posted at a later date here on our page.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandfathers, stepdads, and father figures who help shape the next generation of Scouts.

From early morning campfires and hiking trails to Pinewood Derbies and campouts, your leadership, patience, and example help build confidence, character, and lifelong memories.

Scouting is stronger because of the men who step up, show up, and lead by example.

Today, the Sweetwater District celebrates you and thanks you for the time, wisdom, and dedication you pour into our youth.

May your day be filled with adventure, family, and the outdoors you’ve helped so many young Scouts come to love.

Happy Father’s Day.
