The Huguenot Trail District

The Huguenot Trail District serves the scouts, scouters, and families of central Virginia. The district is an integral part of the Heart of Virginia Council and aims to promote the scouting cause by providing training, resources, leadership, and district wide events. We are Huguenot Trail!

Scouting prepares young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law. Scouting is also about having fun, making friends, and enjoying the outdoors. The Huguenot Trail District provides programs for boys as young as 7 up to age 21.

New Training Requirements
The National Council intends to implement in 2011 a plan for mandatory training. The Plan will require that during 2011 all Top Leaders in a Unit will have to be trained or National will not recharter the Unit for 2012. During 2012, all Direct Contact Leaders will have to be trained for Units to be rechartered in 2013. For 20 pilot Councils, this schedule is moved up one year.
New District Commissioner
At the Council Commissioner's Cabinet meeting last night, Bennie Goode was sworn in as Huguenot Trail's new District Commissioner, and Mark Waggoner was sworn in as Assistant Council Commissioner for the Districts South of the James River.

Please block off this weekend in your unit’s calendar for all to participate. We will be releasing more soon.

Boy Scouts

Youth Leader Training
Training of the youth leaders of your troop is important in helping the individual scout and the troop grow. The Huguenot Trail District and the Boy Scouts of America have developed a weekend long training experience that has proven valuable in the training of youth leaders. Your troop is invited to participate.
Anti-Drug Resources
If you are looking to help your scouts complete Second Class requirement 8a, participation in an anti-drug program, you may find these free resources from the NIDA helpful. They have free pamphlets, magazines, slideshows, and posters that you can use to pass on to your scouts knowledge of the dangers of drug use.
