Hi Heart of Virginia!
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day:
January 15th, 2024
The Leadership Center and Scout Shop are closed on Monday, January 15th, in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service). We will reopen on Tuesday, January 16th. Did you know that this federal holiday was designated by Congress as a national day of service... a "day on, not a day off."
Tune in to today's Cub Chat Live for important Cub Scout Program Updates, including details about the new rank adventures, and the reimagining of special awards. This is a "can't miss" opportunity to learn more about and prepare for the changes coming on June 1st.
Changes are coming to the Cub Scout Program, and on January 21st, starting promptly at 1:00 pm at the Heart of Virginia Leadership Center, there will be an OrientationSession for Roundtable Commissioners, Staff and the individuals who have been identified in each district who will either be a trainer or resource for units on the Cub Scout Program changes are encouraged to attend.
