Greetings!
Mowing and Weed Whacking at Camp
We are seeking volunteers for mowing and weed whacking at the Heart of Virginia Council Scout Reservation. Both Camp T. Brady Saunders and Cub Adventure Camp need your attention! Volunteers set their own schedule and let us know when they can help. You will be set-up with a mower and weed-eater, and trained as needed. Can you help us?
In July, the BSA announced a $3 increase to the youth member registration fee, and a $3 increase to the annual Scout’s Life subscription fee. Scout's Life magazine is now $1.25 per month for each registered Scout. These new fees went into effect on August 1st, 2022, and if you're feeling confused, we understand. We've broken down the changes and how they affect Scouts who register now and in the months to come.

“The first week of August hangs at the very top of summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning.”
