Alpaca & Paw Patrol Scouts wanting to work on Scout, Tenderfoot, Second Class and/or First Class requirements, come see Mr Zampella Saturday April 17th starting at 2 pm!

Calling all Scouts!  The troop is having its Order of the Arrow Elections at our next troop meeting (outside!) and we need everyone to show.  If you are an OA member, please feel free to wear your OA sash to the meeting.  We need at least 50% of our Scouts to be present for the ballot to be valid.  Please come and support this year's candidates.

Going to SeaBase this May? Summer Camp in August? or the Troop Canoe trip later this spring? If yes, please come to the Chinquapin Swim event this Saturday. Alpaca and Paw Scouts needing Second Class 5a-d and/or First Class 6a can complete them at this event. Please bring your swim trunks, $5 and a towel, along with a mask to comply with COVID restrictions in the public areas. Please register on the troop website, specifying which 15-minute interval you plan to attend (as we are limited to the number of Scouts in the swimming area at any one time). If you can arrive a few minutes before your 15-minute time block, we'll get you checked in and ready to go. Please look for a T129 adult outside the Chinquapin circle entrance to check-in -- do not go directly inside without checking in with an adult leader outside.

Dear scouts and families, this coming Tuesday April 13 we will be going back to meeting in person. Because of COVID, however, we can only meet outside if weather cooperates. So if it is raining the meeting will still happen via zoom.

Dear parents, following our District representatives presentation of the fundraising "Friends of Scouting" please visit the following link and check the attached publication where you can find the many things our National Capital Area Council and our Colonial District does for us. From keeping our campgrounds Snyder and Goshen to providing adult leadership courses from the most basic (IOLS) to the more comprehensive (Wood Badge) as well as scout leadership courses (ILT and NYLT).
