100th Anniversary "I'M GOING TO SUMMER CAMP" Commemorative Patch

Its hard to believe how quickly 2012 came and went.  Its now 2013, the 100th anniversary of Scouting in the Richmond area.  On July 12, 1913 the first Troop was created in what would eventually come to be known as the Heart of Virginia Council. 

Camp T. Brady Saunders is proud of our council's history and will be celebrating it each week of summer camp this year.  There will be special displays and programs offered throughout the summer to help teach our Scouts about the history of Scouting.  On Friday July 12, 2013 the camp will be opening its time capsule, buried in front of Eagle Plaza.  The items it contains will provide a glimpse of what scouting was like in our council 25 years ago.  There will be special celebrations and food at the event.

To kickoff the camps involvement we are offering a special commemorative patch to all our Scouts and Scouters who register for camp at The Heart of Virginia Scout Reservation by January 31st, 2013.  This patch will be issued to each registered Scout and Scouter in February and can be worn with pride. 

It will be one of a series of patches featuring the 100th Anniversary design.  Be sure to register in January (or if you have already registered) to receive this limited time collectors edition patch and join Camp T. Brady Saunders in celebrating 100 years of scouting in the Richmond area!
