Hi Heart of Virginia!

Every Scout should learn the value of hard work and earning their own way. The Popcorn and Peanut fundraiser is the perfect opportunity to teach this valuable life lesson and fund the most exciting year of Scouting ever! NEW THIS YEAR - Product Distribution is August 24 & 25 so Scouts can start selling early! Unit orders for Show & Sell are due August 2.

Find the Firefly, Win Fun Prizes

We're alight with excitement about our October 7th Glow Trail Run 5K and Kids 1-Miler at the Goochland Scout Reservation! Now through the October Courier, we're hiding a firefly in each newsletter (including the Friday 5) for you to find. The first person to spot it and email rebekah.nyalko@scouting.org with its location wins a fun prize! Will it be hidden in a photo? Maybe you'll find it through a link in one of our write-ups? Congratulations to Melissa Johnson, who found our firefly in the June Courier!


[About the Event]

Cub Scout Summer Camp

One of the most rewarding and character-building things you can do together is to go camping, and we hope you consider taking your Scout to a session of Cub Adventure Summer Camp. Adventure Camp offers a 4-day, 3-night experience this summer in Goochland County. You can attend as a family or just as a parent/Scout pair. Meals are served in our air-conditioned Dining Hall, and you can stay in our Tent Village or in a Western Frontier Fort, Yurt, or Cabin.
