Scouts with Troop 555 enjoyed a warm and sunny afternoon at Courthouse Park in Hanover County, participating in the 2022 Battlefield District Fall Camporee.

Hi Heart of Virginia!

A Fundraiser for New Tents and Platforms at Camp

The Thanksgiving holiday is fast approaching, and we all know the best part of our family gatherings is the dessert. Stock up on the favorites like pecan, pumpkin, and apple pie, and be everyone’s holiday hero when you show up with fruit, French Silk Cream, or Boston Cream pies. Better yet, buy one of each and save $10!


The final day to order is November 1st!

Huguenot Trail Denali Camporee

You and members of your troop have planned, worked, and saved money for the last two years to camp in Alaska's Denali National Park. Denali is as large as the state of Massachusetts, with only 90 miles of roads. You will be dropped off 50 miles from base camp and have to walk back in five days. You will cross streams, swampy tundra, and thick forests with a lot of “deadfall” forest litter. With food getting low, you may have to harvest a few Ptarmigan with your slingshots.  Register now for the Denali Camporee at Cub Adventure Camp the weekend of November 18th.
