Welcome to Troop 875 !

Boy Scout Troop 875 belongs to the National Capital Area Council, Old Dominion District. Established in 1964, we are one of the oldest, continuously serving Troops in the region. Troop 875 is a boy-led adult-advised Troop. All of the programs are planned and executed by the Boy Scouts themselves, with experienced adult leaders available to advise and ensure that all activities are conducted in a safe manner. The main objective of the Troop is to encourage and support the scouts as they develop the lifelong skills of citizenship, leadership and self-reliance, while having lots of fun along the way. Thank you for your interest in Troop 875. Please join us at one of our Troop meetings, select "About Us" at the left for more information. The main contents of this website are password protected.

Holiday Greens Fundraiser 2026

Posted by admin on Oct 2 2026 - 4:46pm

This is our biggest money-making event of the year. It pays for our campouts, equipment and supplies. Take a few hours to sell to your neighbors. Order a wreath for each of your relatives. Earn money to pay for rechartering, summer camp, high adventure trips and more. You earn 50% of the profit the troop makes on everything you sell. If you want to put some money in your account, get out there and sell!
If you weren’t at Monday’s meeting, make sure you get an order form and catalog from Mr. Mike McGinn at the next meeting. There are 2 types of sales:
Local– sales you make door-to-door; you must pick up the items at SHUMC and deliver them to the customer
Direct Delivery – these will be directly shipped to the customer and include a S&H fee.

  • Please make the SCOUT’S name is written on the order form so full credit is given for the sales.
  • Checks should be made out to: BSA Troop 875.
  • Please print your customer’s information clearly on your order form. You will need this information so the clearer it is, the better.
  • Remember to turn in your original order form and your money by the due date. Your original form will be returned to you when you receive your greens.
  • The greens that you sell door to door locally will be delivered to the Troop after Thanksgiving between November 30th and December 7th. li>

Bring your Handbooks to Troop Meetings

Posted by admin on Oct 2 2026 - 4:31pm

A quick reminder to bring your handbooks to troop meetings. There is often time to work on rank requirements, so you need your book to record your achievements. At meetings, scouts are shown and taught an advancement skill. Scouts can practice on their own with the help of their handbook and other scouts. At a later meeting, scouts can demonstrate the skill to a leader, who will sign it off in their handbook.

Important Reminder: Adult Registration Required for Overnight Campouts

Posted by admin on Oct 2 2026 - 4:31pm

To ensure the safety of our youth and maintain full compliance with Scouting America’s Barriers to Abuse policies, all adults attending any troop overnight campout must be officially registered adult leaders. Registration requires completing Safeguarding Youth Training and a background check.
Please note that council approval typically takes 1 to 2 weeks (and can take longer during peak season), so please plan ahead if you intend to camp with us!
