There will be a swim test at the GW Rec Center from 3:00 - 4:00pm on Sunday April 27 for those who didn't make the March one. This will satisfy rank requirements and is needed for Summer Camp, and any water-based activities planned by the Troop.

Sign up on the Troop website for the next weekend campout in Orbisonia, PA. Activities include Tucker's Eagle Scout project (building and deploying turtle platforms) along with fishing, hiking, and other activities. The Troop will return to the church 1:00 pm Sunday. This is a great opportunity to support an Eagle project and complete conservation hours. Please fill out the Permission slip: https://forms.gle/cZCLYJVjvm6KuywB6

All scouts and families are invited to help Oliver Wilson (993 Life Scout) with his Eagle Project, spreading wood chips, installing wooden borders, clearing weeds, and tearing down an old shed to make the space safer and more fun for the kids who use it. It will be at Pillar Church of Woodlawn: 9001 Richmond Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22309. Please wear Class B uniform and bring a water bottle. Let's support one of our own and also help out the local community.

Gabriel's Eagle Project is coming up.  Please see the attached fliers for more information, and sign up here: https://signup.com/go/BAKCahR
