Hi Heart of Virginia!
Unit Renewals (Recharter) Due December 17th!
One final reminder for all unit Key 3's that Unit Renewal for 2023 is due by tomorrow, December 17th. If you have not started your renewal because you have questions about the process, please reach out to your District Executive as soon as possible. The 2023 Unit Renewal page on the HOVC website includes full instructions, training, a user guide, and link to the Rechartering Console. Renewing on time is one requirement for earning free cloth rank badges for the upcoming year in Scouting.
What do you call a cow and two ducks? Milk and quackers! Did you know that if you counted up all the gifts in the 12 Days of Christmas song, you'd have received 184 birds?

Come visit us next week for our final Holiday Sale Spectacular Deal, choose your ducky, and get 10% to 20% off your purchase (excluding uniforming and awards).
