To our Scouts, Parents, Leaders, Donors, and Alumni,

Scouting has a rich history of positively impacting the lives of over 130 million youth, and we have a bright future ahead of us. We have modernized our traditional programs with the innovations of science and technology, while infusing safety into all aspects of our program. We continue to enable the girls and boys involved to develop lifelong friendships and build the life skills needed to become the future leaders of our communities, businesses, and country.

In the Heart of Virginia Council, we aspire to grow Scouting by reaching all youth in Central Virginia and giving them the opportunity to participate in a quality program. This three-year strategic plan lays out the five imperatives of Culture, Membership, Development, Program, and Infrastructure that will allow us to leverage the resources necessary to serve more families, including the most underserved areas of the Council. These resources include trained volunteer leadership, world-class facilities, proper funding, reengaging alumni, and hiring and retaining staff to support our units.

We will continue to ensure that the Heart of Virginia Council provides a safe environment for our Scouts as they learn character and leadership skills that will allow them to make ethical and moral decisions over their lifetime based on the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
