Scouting is an investment in youth and in our nation’s future leadership. 
Support can come in many forms: a cash contribution; sponsorship to a special event as in our golf and sporting clays tournaments; support to the endowment; or a donation of materials that can be used at one of our camps.
To learn more about funding Scouting take a look at the items in the drop down menu under Support Scouting in the main horizontal navigational bar at the top right of the page, or contact senior development director Brett Smiley at 804-204-2617 brett.smiley@scouting.org.
Thank you for your support!
Support Opportunities
Our “Volunteer Job Bank” is where we post needs for volunteers to help with small to medium sized, short-term projects. If you are interested in helping to support scouting in the Heart of Virginia council, please take a look at our Volunteer Job Bank for a way that you can get involved. You can also take a look at our council “Wish List” for specific needs the council has, including both physical donations, and skilled volunteers.
One of scouting’s primary fund-raisers is our annual Popcorn Sale. This event helps raise money for local scouting units, as well as the Heart of Virginia council. Your support of the popcorn sale goes a long way towards supporting scouting in our communities.
The Heart of Virginia’s Annual Council Golf Tournament is a fun way to meet others dedicated to the scouting cause, while having a great time and supporting council’s regional efforts. The Council Golf Tournament is an opportunity you won’t want to miss.
