Citizen of the Year – Boy Scouts of America Coastal Carolina Council
The Boy Scouts of America Coastal Carolina Council honored Derek K. Robbins, President and CEO of Robbins Construction Group, with its prestigious “Citizen of the Year” award in recognition of his outstanding leadership, commitment to youth development, and lasting contributions to the Scouting community.
A cornerstone of this recognition was Robbins` vision to establish Construction Explorer Post #3262, an innovative workforce development initiative designed to introduce young men and women to careers in the commercial construction industry. Under the leadership of Robbins Construction Group, the Explorer Post participated in an intensive eight-month program that provided hands-on exposure to every phase of the construction process. Participants gained practical experience in project planning, site layout, estimating, safety protocols, blueprint interpretation, scheduling, material procurement, and field construction techniques.
As the culmination of the program, the students successfully designed and constructed a storage building that was donated to the BSA Coastal Carolina Council for use at Camp Ho Non Wah on Wadmalaw Island. The project not only provided valuable real-world construction experience but also left a lasting contribution to one of the Council`s most treasured camps, reinforcing the values of teamwork, craftsmanship, leadership, and community service.
Reflecting on the honor, Robbins stated:
"It is truly an honor to receive this recognition, but the real credit belongs to the dedicated volunteers and leaders of the Boy Scouts of America who selflessly invest countless hours mentoring and developing our youth. As the father of two Scouts—one of whom earned the rank of Eagle Scout—I have witnessed firsthand the tremendous impact Scouting has on building character, leadership, integrity, and a strong sense of service to others. The lessons learned through Scouting prepare young people not only for successful careers but, more importantly, for successful lives. It has been a privilege for Robbins Construction Group to partner with the Coastal Carolina Council and help inspire

Project Update | Avian Commons Buildings A & B
Robbins Construction Group is proud to be making significant progress on the Avian Commons Buildings A & B project in Ridgeville, South Carolina.
Located within Camp Hall, one of the Southeast’s premier master-planned commerce parks, Avian Commons is designed to support the region’s continued economic growth by creating a dynamic environment where businesses, employees, and community amenities come together.
Significant milestones have recently been achieved, including the completion of the Building A slab and the commencement of footing installation for Building B. Structural steel is scheduled to arrive in the coming weeks, with foundations and slab work for both buildings nearing completion. Building A is anticipated to be structurally complete by year-end, with Building B close behind.
This project represents more than new construction—it is an investment in the future of the Camp Hall community and the continued expansion of one of South Carolina’s most rapidly growing economic corridors.
Great work by our team and trade partners as we continue bringing this exciting project to life.
