Congrats to Chuck. Chuck helped to found 706 over 40 years ago and his impact to Scouting is still felt today.

⚜ Introducing our 2025 Eagle Class Honoree, Chuck Sullivan

We are proud to recognize lifelong Scouter Chuck Sullivan as the Heart of Virginia Council's 2025 Eagle Class Honoree at this year’s Eagle Scout Commencement. Chuck’s Scouting journey began as a Cub Scout in 1958, and after earning Eagle in 1965, he has spent nearly six decades serving youth as a leader, mentor, trainer, Eagle Coach, and council volunteer. He helped found Troop 706, supported Troops 706 and 709, and has personally coached more than 80 Eagle Scouts... just one part of a lifetime of service that includes camp staff, district training, Klondike Derbies, Jamborees, and countless leadership roles. A Silver Beaver recipient and holder of more than 25 Scouting honors, Chuck’s impact on generations of Scouts is immeasurable, and we are honored to celebrate his legacy.

Join us in celebrating Chuck's generous contributions to Scouting, alongside our 2025 Class of Eagle Scouts, at the Eagle Scout Commencement Ceremony at Randolph-Macon College on February 22nd.

Before the 2026 snow apocalypse hit this weekend ❄️, Pack 706 was already heating up the competition at our annual Pinewood Derby 🏁🔥.

Spirits were high, cheers were loud 📣, and fun was had by all 😄. Our Scouts worked hard cutting, designing, and painting their one-of-a-kind cars 🎨🚗, proudly racing creations they built themselves. Parents even got in on the action by racing their own trucks 🛻💨.

If you’re looking for wholesome family fun, big smiles, and excitement from start to finish, come join Pack 706 🙌⚜️.

🦃🍁 Pack 706 is thankful for SO much this past year! 🍁🦃

We’re thankful for clear skies on campouts ☀️⛺️,
thankful for late-night kid laughter in the tents (even when they’re definitely supposed to be asleep 😆🌙), thankful for brave Scouts trying new adventures, especially when they go for it a second time 💪🧗‍♂️,
thankful for friendships, community, growth, and every moment spent outdoors 🌲🤝✨.

We’re also thankful for:
• Campfire stories that get just spooky enough 🔥👀
• S’mores that mysteriously disappear within seconds 🍫🔥😋
• Parents who pack everything except the one thing they actually needed 😅🎒
• Leaders who run on caffeine and optimism ☕️😄
• Kids who remind us daily how fun it is to explore the world 🌎🧭

🍂 Happy Thanksgiving to all from Pack 706! 🍂🧡
