Hi Heart of Virginia!

Introducing the

New Dogwood District

We're excited to share the results of our Battlefield / Rivers District renaming survey! Introducing the Dogwood District! The new logo includes nods to both districts, such as the dogwood tree rings representing their shared history and growth. Thank you to all who provided name suggestions and input - we think you made a great choice!

Scout Safety: Food Allergies

According to Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE), one in every 13 children has a food allergy. Every 3 minutes, a food-allergy reaction sends someone to the emergency room. And while the responsibility for management of a food allergy lies with the individual or the individual’s parent or guardian, all of us need to be ready to assist in preventing — or helping in response to — a reaction.
