Battlefield District
The Battlefield District encompasses that portion of Hanover and Henrico Counties east of Interstate 95 and all of Charles City and New Kent Counties and serves 77 Cub Scout Packs, Boy Scout Troops and Venture Crews whose aggregate youth membership exceeds 1,700. The fact that the Battlefield District is a Quality District is due primarily to efforts of the many adult volunteers who serve at the unit and District levels and give the leadership and time that is necessary for the District to be able to provide the many quality programs and services to our scouting youth.
The Battlefield District is proud to be a part of the Heart of Virginia Council, Boy Scouts of America...

To those planning to attend the Battlefield District Klondike Derby this Weekend |
|
|
Ranger Steve has asked that we re-schedule our event due to the road conditions at Albright and due to the weather forecast for the coming weekend. We are re-scheduling the event to February 26-28. While the snow would be a benefit for the event that we do not often get, the safety of getting to and from the event is a concern. We aplogize for the inconvenience. Please make plans to come in February. Feel free to contact Mark Lloyd 314-0978 with any questions.

The purpose of the Trail is to promote an understanding of the historical and cultural role involving great Americans beginning with Patrick Henry’s “Liberty or Death” speech through the development of our country. The hiker will hear the names of many famous people and their contributions to this new nation.
The guide will enable you to provide your Scouts with additional facts throughout the trail, as well as basic instructions. Please read it thoroughly before leading your boys through this activity.

The Unit Chairman should turn this in to their Unit Commissioner or at Roundtable/Commissioner’s Meeting. If you do not know who your Unit Commissioner is contact Wendy Starke (wendyfriedhoff@comcast.net).
