The [[Stonewall Jackson Area Council|Virginia Headwaters Council]] (VHC) serves Scouts in areas of the [[Shenandoah Valley]] in [[Virginia]] and [[West Virginia]] and areas of central Virginia. The first council in the area was the Staunton Council, formed in 1920 and failed in 1924.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ezell |first=Ray |date=2020-01-15 |title=Before Stonewall Jackson…the Staunton Virginia Council, 1920-1924 |url=https://historyofscoutingva.wordpress.com/2020/01/15/before-stonewall-jackson-the-staunton-virginia-council-1920-1924 |website=Central Virginia Boy Scouting Preservation Project}}</ref> The Stonewall Jackson Council was chartered in Staunton, Virginia in January 1927 as the Stonewall Jackson Council. The council is named after General [[Stonewall Jackson]], one of the most famous residents of the area. The Lewis & Clark Council was formed in [[Charlottesville]] in 1927; it failed in 1931 and then was incorporated into the Stonewall Jackson Council. The council was later renamed to the Stonewall Jackson Area Council. The first Scout executive of the Stonewall Jackson (Area) Council was J. Wilford Fix who served from 1927 to 1950. Fix had joined Scouting as a youth in 1911 in Richmond and was an [[Eagle Scout]] after relocating to Roanoke with his parents. The Stonewall Jackson Area Council was renamed in 2019 to the Virginia Headwaters Council.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Local-scouting-council-changes-name-from-Stonewall-Jackson-Area-Council-to-Virginia-Headwaters-Council-565449041.html#:~:text=Scouting council changes name of Stonewall Jackson Area Council | date=25 November 2019 |url=https://www.whsv.com/content/news/Local-scouting-council-changes-name-from-Stonewall-Jackson-Area-Council-to-Virginia-Headwaters-Council-565449041.html#:~:text=Scouting%20council%20changes%20name%20of%20Stonewall%20Jackson%20Area%20Council,-The%20Stonewall%20Jackson&text=After%20decades%20as%20the%20Stonewall,as%20the%20Virginia%20Headwaters%20Council.}}</ref>
