Hi Heart of Virginia!

Nawakwa Lodge Museum at Camp T. Brady Saunders

There is a treasure hidden in plain sight at the Heart of Virginia Scout Reservation in Goochland, Virginia. Anyone who has gone to Camp T. Brady Saunders or has camped overnight in Camp Douglas Fleet has driven right by this little gem. Upon entering the Reservation, turn left. The first building you see is the Nawakwa Scouting Museum, operated by the Nawakwa Lodge of the Order of the Arrow (OA).

Wilderness First Aid Training

Wilderness First Aid is a course that focuses on prevention, assessment, and treatment for an ill or injured person in a remote environment where definitive care by a physician and/or rapid transport is not readily available. This training prepares participants to identify and address medical issues that can arise in the backcountry. Join us November 3rd through 5th at Camp T. Brady Saunders!
