Since 2019, Heart of Virginia Council has used donor contributions to make major (and minor) upgrades at both Cub Adventure Camp and T. Brady Saunders. These projects have totaled over $855,000 - and we're excited to tell you all about them. Most recently - staff and visitors would say most importantly - we purchased 250 brand-new mattresses for housing across both camps. What a difference!

Hi Heart of Virginia!
