Virginia Headwaters Council, BSA - CampCast

Welcome back to Camp Cast, exploring the ever-exciting world of tornados and money! No really, we sit down with Matt Phillippi to talk about one of his favorite campouts and to dig in a little around council finances. By the end of this episode, you will have a new appreciation for our Council Board and their work to make scouting a reality in our region.  Matt is an Eagle Scout, the District Commissioner for VAHC, and our Council Treasurer. 

Today's episode is made possible by VAHC's Board and Camp Shenandoah, welcoming you Home in 2023.

Fun fact - On June 15th, 1916, Woodrow Wilson signed a bill into law that granted federal incorporation to the Boy Scouts of America and protected the BSA's name and insignia. But the birthday of the BSA is February, and this week on Camp Cast we explore the history of the BSA, the role of the Blue and Gold banquet in the Cub Scouting program, and the importance of milestones in the scouting program. As an added plus, we tearfully look at one of our Cross Over Ceremonies. Comments or idea's email us at: [email protected]

There seems to be so much going on in our council - and now they are talking about selling the council office! Sometimes it can be overwhelming and hard to keep up with who is making these decisions.  I got to sit down with Steve Hammond to chat about his role as Council President, the state of the council, and his favorite camping story.  In January of 2023, Steve wrote in the Tributary: One of my favorite authors Mark Twain once noted “Reports of my death or greatly exaggerated.”

Listen to Steve talk about the future of the Virginia Headwaters Council.  Learn more about the activities of the Council Board on their new webpage.

This Episode is made possible by: Camp Shenandoah - be sure to register your troop today, and by Wood Badge - signup now for the BSA's best leadership training.
