Scout Night at the Diamond - Camping Guidelines!

Sa-wing battah battah battah! We're getting excited about hitting it out of the park at the July 29th Scout Night at the Diamond game and camping opportunity. The Flying Squirrels have been kind enough to pass along some Camping Guidelines for those Scouts who plan on spending a night out on the field. Tickets are still on sale - you can get your own for $10.00 ($13 if you'd also like a special patch)! [Learn More]

We have been approved to participate in the Family Den Pilot Program by the National Council of the BSA. The program will allow you to form dens that are comprised of boys and girls instead of being limited to single-gender dens only. Participation in the Pilot Program is 100% voluntary. HOVC is proud to offer two virtual Kick-Offs via Zoom on June 28th and July 30th.
