Congratulations to JR, Ezra, Owen, and Jeffrey for their election into the Order of the Arrow. These scouts must now attend an Ordeal, where they will be inducted into OA. Members of OA are chosen through an election process at a troop meeting, and are Scouts who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law. Considered the scouting 'honor roll', it recognizes those who embody Scouting's values, promoting responsible outdoor adventure, developing leadership skills, and crystallizing the Scout habit of helpfulness into a life purpose of leadership, in cheerful service to others.

Volunteers are needed for James' Eagle Scout Project on Saturday, March 14th. We will be building a concrete paver platform, which will improve the club's facilities by creating a stable, level area to store bleachers for the pool.
The project is at the Forest Hollow Swim Club (4330 Old Columbia Pike, Annandale, VA) from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. If you're able to join us, please bring work gloves and sturdy boots. I would also greatly appreciate it if you could bring rubber mallets, wheelbarrows, or hand tampers, as these will be a huge help in getting the job done efficiently. And yes, of course, there will be lunch provided!
Please Sign Up Here so I can get an accurate headcount for food. Thank you for supporting my Eagle Project, and I look forward to seeing you there!

Want to make your next campfire easier to start? We are collecting supplies to create homemade fire starters at our meeting on March 30th.
