Virginia Council BBYO #56 is the slightly smaller council of the two which comprimise Eastern Region (the other being North Carolina Council , consisting of around 235 members (of the 600 in Eastern)and consisting of eight chapters.

Two areas of Virginia primarily compromise the council - Tidewater (Virginia Beach/Norfolk) and Richmond.

In Richmond there is one AZA chapter and two BBG chapters - Monarchs AZA, Abraham Cohen BBG, and Tikvah BBG. In Tidewater there are two AZA and two BBG chapters - Old Dominion AZA, Dr. Israel Brown AZA, Simcha BBG and Kruger BBG.

Finally, established in 2011 by the 2011-2012 Council Leadership, a BBYO chapter was founded on Virginia Peninsula encompassing Williamsburg, VA and Newport News, VA - a chapter that came to be named Halutzim BBYO.

Virginia Council carries significant presence on the International level as well, most recently producing the 85th Grand Aleph Shaliach, Saul Brodsky, and leading the International Order in Summer 2012 with four summer program coordinators - more than any other Region or Council in the order.
