Citizenship in Society Merit Badge Conselors Needed
The new Citizenship in Society MeritBadge becomes required for all Scouts as of July 1, 2022, so counselors are needed ASAP! Since this badge is to be taught in small groups to Scouts within their own troop, the Heart of Virginia Council needs every troop to select at least one person who will help guide Scouts on their journey of self-discovery.
“Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, rwatching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.”
