In observance of Labor Day, the Leadership Center and Scout Shop will be closed on Saturday, September 3rd and Monday, September 5th.  We will reopen with regular business hours on Tuesday, September 6th.

Things are popping over on Villa Park Drive!  Our Popcorn and Peanut inventory arrives next week, and our Leadership Center will be busting at the seams with boxes of delicious treats like White Cheddar Cheese and Cinnamon Crunch popcorn bags, tins of Supreme Caramel and 3-Way Cheesy Cheese popcorn, and tin after tin of Peanut Brittle, Dark Chocolatey Peanut Clusters, and Honey Roasted Virginia Peanuts.  Nick thinks we'll have more than enough product on hand for units who haven't yet registered to sell! If you're interested in fundraising this fall, reach out to heather.dunton@scouting.org.

Scout Leaders, Scout Parents, and Scouting Supporters - thank you! If your employer conducts a United Way campaign, please consider designating your gift to us by writing "Heart of Virginia Council, BSA" in the designation spot. Your designations are now the only way that the HOVC receives support through the United Way!
