HOVC Scouter Newsletter | January 13, 2023

BSA Executives from across four states gathered together in Greensboro, NC, to share best practices and what's working for recruiting families into Scouting. Can you pick out the eleven members of the Heart of Virginia Council team in this photo? We had membership growth in 2022 (7.6%), and plan to do it again in 2023!

Blue & Gold Banquet Hub

Blue & Gold Banquets are a tradition in Cub Scout packs. They are a celebration of the anniversary of the founding of the BSA on February 8, 1910, and therefore usually take the place of the February pack meeting. Oftentimes, organizing this special event can feel overwhelming. Maybe your experience can help another unit plan the best Blue & Gold they've ever had! Visit our B&G Banquet Hub and share or get ideas.
