Great film! The kids are SO talented! Must-see.
Troop 491 has continued its run at Movieland’s Criterion Theater and just was granted another week, ending Thursday October 24th. If you have been meaning to see the film, please take the time soon so it will continue its run. If you don’t know about the film, but are a supporter of Richmonders doing big things and a supporter of the power of mentoring, then please take the time to see the film soon – it will entertain you and inspire you
Saw it last night- great to see so many spots in Church Hill highlighted. The kid playing the protagonist did a great job.
Scout’s Honor – A new Richmond film asks its young lead to choose between the code of the streets and the code of the Scouts.
