Big Value, Bigger Adventures: Program Fee & Season Pass Update
for the Heart of Virginia Council’s Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, and Registered Adults!
Starting June 1, 2025, the Heart of Virginia Council will introduce a new $85 youth program fee, which now includes a 2026 Season Program Pass packed with value for all Cub Scouts and Scouts BSA youth in our council.
The Season Pass offers free or discounted access to popular council events like the Spring Cub Camporee, Pinewood Derby, Camporees, Fishing Derbies, and Summer Camp discounts—plus a 10% year-round discount at the Scout Shop. With over $111 in value, families will see more benefits and opportunities for their Scouts to participate in exciting, well-run programs.
While the youth fee increases, the adult program fee remains $15 and continues to include accident insurance and key adult training courses. The council is also introducing a new monthly payment plan option for new members, helping more families say yes to Scouting.
This change helps fund the delivery of great local programs, support adult leaders, and maintain top-tier camp facilities—all while making Scouting more accessible and engaging for everyone.
