Friends of Scouting Silent Auction - Closes 5/15/22 at 7:00pm
We have some great Silent Auction items for our Friends of Scouting Dinner. Anyone can start bidding now and you do not need to attend the dinner to participate. The Silent Auction closes on Sunday, May 15th at 7:00pm. Virginia Tech fans are some of the most enthusiastic fans on the planet, and it's safe to say Frank Beamer is a beloved part of local football history. A previous Friends of Scouting Keynote Speaker, Mr. Beamer generously autographed a Hokies football that's now up for grabs. Will you take it home and add it to your VT collection?
We recognize that there are many questions about what is happening at our camp in Goochland.

George McGovern, Scout Executive, explains the changes you'll see at camp in the linked article below.

This event takes place May 21st from 10:00 am to 2:30 pm at the HOVC Leadership Center.
