Join the Adventure!

Join Cub Scouts for the 2024-2025 Year!
For boys and girls, kindergarten to fifth grade

In Cub Scouts, kids don’t just play – they Play for REAL!
They are Ready for adventure, Explore the outdoors, Achieve their goals, and Lead with confidence.
It’s more than fun, it’s a launchpad for life!

Hi, Parents and Guardians! Come join the adventure! We know you’re busy, but we would like to invite you to join us at your child’s school to learn about Cub Scouting. We’ll talk about how character development, good citizenship, friendly service to others, sportsmanship, fitness, personal achievement, leadership, fun, and (of course) adventure can help your child learn meaningful skills that will benefit them their whole lives through. You might have heard about classic Cub Scout events like the Pinewood Derby and Raingutter Regatta; but did you know that Scouts in the Heart of Virginia Council collect tens of thousands of pounds of food for Feed More annually? Or that we construct Little Libraries for our communities, participate in the annual Scouts Trash the Trash effort to keep our local parks and public spaces clean, and send letters and care packages to military and service workers? We go hiking, fishing, Geocaching, and camping at our local world-class Scout Reservations, learn how to keep ourselves healthy and strong, contribute to the success of our families, grow in our spirituality, and make positive choices. When was the last time you built a robot, racecar, campfire, or family bond?  We could go on, but we’d rather tell you all about local Cub Scouting in person.

Visit us at our Join Scouting Night where we’ll introduce you to your local Cub Scout Packs and their programs, answer your questions, and register new Scouts. Come meet us and your future friends and family at the date, time, and place on the front of this flyer. Can’t attend? No problem. You can reach out to the Cubmaster for more details or register online at BeAScout.org.

Play for Real - August 5 2025
In 1982, Lee excitedly joined Pack 544 at his very first Cub Scout Summer Camp.
He had no idea then that this “rookie” experience would launch a lifetime of leadership, adventure, and memories, and eventually bring him full circle as a Scout parent. Today, Lee Scouts alongside his son RJ, helping a new generation of Scouts discover their own firsts.  Whether it’s their first hike, campfire, or badge, every Scout starts somewhere. Let your child Play for REAL with Cub Scouts this fall!
Play for Real - August 14 2025
It’s not just about the first s’more or song… it’s about discovering something new together!
In Cub Scouts, firsts aren’t just for kids. Sometimes parents are rookies, too, and that’s part of the magic. You don’t have to know how to pitch a tent or start a campfire to join Scouts. You and your new Scout will learn all about what it really means to try new things, step outside your comfort zones, and build unforgettable memories. Because learning together? That’s where real connections grow. Let your family Play for REAL this fall.
