Hi Heart of Virginia!

Camp Card Sale - Big News for 2024!

Your Scouts will be excited to earn MORE funds for Summer Camp this year! After a great deal of research and consultation with many who sell Camp Cards, the Product Sale Committee of the Heart of Virginia Council is moving to a $10 Camp Card for 2024. This means that Scouts can more than double their fundraising efforts, earning $6 per card during the "Early Bird Sale!" See the brand new 2024 Camp Cards, and sign up to sell today!

Troop Volunteers Needed: Help a Little and Camp For Free!

Would your Scouts BSA troop like to camp for free and get three free meals one weekend? Well, troops that volunteer to help staff the Cub Family Camporee on May 3rd - 5th get to camp at our Douglas Fleet Campground for free and get to enjoy Saturday lunch, dinner, and Sunday breakfast in the dining hall. In return, your troop helps out with program events happening on Saturday afternoon, maybe has some older Scouts assist in the kitchen, or helps with the evening campfire.
