Setting Up Your Unit with a Google Business Profile
Every little thing you do can have a huge impact on your success in this and coming years. If you have a little extra time (insert “one hour a week” jokes here), consider using it to create a Google Business Profile for your unit. A Google Business Profile can help with your recruitment efforts, provides families and guests an opportunity to offer reviews about your program, and more! Read all about how a Google Business Profile is the perfect tool, then get all set-up using our instructions.
If you subscribe to Virginia Wildlife Magazine, you may have been as delighted as we were to see a wonderful write-up about Albright Scout Reservation, one of Heart of Virginia Council’s camping and day use facilities. Albright is a 568-acre multi-use area that provides opportunities for camping, events, pioneering, orienteering, and exploring. We invite you to take a few moments to read the Virginia Wildlife Magazine article, “Citizen Science is a Great Way to Connect Kids to Nature” by Emily Grey, and to join us at camp!
