• Whitewater rafting
• Scuba diving
• Fishing
• Hiking
• Zip-lining
• Horseback riding
• Rock climbing

Special Meeting 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 19, to go over merit badge prerequisites, paperwork review and turn-in, final packing instructions, logistics, questions and anything else related to Summer Camp.

This is a MANDATORY meeting for all parents and scouts going to Camp Rodney, whether you are going with the troop or on your own.

1. Bring 2 copies of your completed BSA physical to include two copies of your insurance card for each scout and adult.  Make sure your last TDAP (or Tetanus) shot was within 10 years.  Keep one additional copy for yourself — you will not get the two copies back.
2. Adults spending the night need a physical — including the Tetanus shot. Use the same physical forms above.
3. Bring any pre-reqs you need to have signed off. We will be teaching the  CPR familiarization requirement as a troop during the meeting. All other requirements are in the program guide listed with the merit badge classes you are taking.
4. Download your packing list here.
5. Bring any questions you have about logistics and travel.

Mr. Millander is wrapping up the Troop’s Camp Rodney reservation this week and needs all scouts who are planning to go to Camp to make their Merit Badge class selections and final payments this week.

He will try to be at the meeting tonight, or you can email your selections and mail your payments this week.

Please see the schedule online.

Due to great mulch sales this year, the troop is contributing $319 per scout and total cost of $100 per adult for attendance.

Welcome to the new website for BSA Troop 113 in Alexandria, Virginia!

If you’re a boy between the ages of 11 and 18, you’re invited to join us Tuesday nights at 7:30 p.m. to learn more about scouting and this fun and growing Troop.

We want boys and adult leaders who are looking for an authentic, “by the book” Scouting experience. We adhere to the requirements and spirit of the Boy Scouting program.

Our Scout Troop is organized into patrols of 8 to 10 boys that function under the Patrol Method. The BSA program emphasizes youth leadership, outdoor activities, outdoor camping and exploration, and personal development.

At least one parent for each boy must be willing to be involved with the Troop Committee or be involved as an adult leader in the Troop. This is critical not only to the success of the Troop, but is vital to the success of the boys. We are not looking for excessive time commitments, but we must have parental support.

We meet at Trinity United Methodist Church, which is located at 2911 Cameron Mills Rd., Alexandria, VA 22302.

Trinity UMC has sponsored our Troop for more than 65 successful years!
