Hi Heart of Virginia!

Duty to God: Reverence Hub Award Recipients

A Scout is reverent. We've launched a new Duty to God: Reverence Hub, where we showcase the core values of Scouting by promoting reverence and inclusivity. On this new page, Scouts can find resources to deepen their understanding of their own beliefs and build upon their respect of the religious diversity in the Heart of Virginia Council. We've recently added Religious Award Recipients to this page, and invite you to join us in congratulating those Scouts who have earned the awards of their faith.

Add Weekend Experiences to Your Pack Year Plan!

Our summer camp adventures might be over, but camp remains open for Weekend Experiences! Do your Scouts love the programs offered at Camp T. Brady Saunders and Cub Adventure Camp? Wouldn't it be great if you could offer the same amazing adventures year round? Weekend Experiences offer units the opportunity to customize a program specifically tailored for their youth. Choose from special seasonal programming that suits your group, from aquatics and fishing to shooting sports and STEM.
