Thank you to the Arlington County Fire Department and Falls Church Volunteer Fire Department for hosting the troop for a visit to the Falls Church fire station Monday night! Our scouts really enjoyed talking with the firefighters, seeing the gear and vehicles, and learning about fire safety and how the fire department responds to fires.
This past weekend during Scouting for Food, Pack 657 and Troop 895 collected 3,750 pounds of non-perishables for Columbia Baptist Church’s food pantry. Thank you to our Falls Church neighbors for your generosity!
The troop recently held its Fall Court of Honor and our Eagle Court of Honor at Falls Church Presbyterian Church. Several rank advancements and many merit badges earned. Congratulations to Abe for receiving his Eagle rank, which was presented by his grandfather, who is also an Eagle Scout!
Congratulations to Abe K. on attaining the rank of Eagle Scout! Abe will continue to be a leader with the troop as he joins us as our newest Assistant Scoutmaster!
The troop held its Spring Court of Honor at the Scout House. Several rank advancements and many merit badges earned, and three scouts learned they’d been selected for Order of the Arrow. Our emcee, pictured, did a great job!
April adventures, part 3 & 4 – here’s a sneak peek at a couple Eagle Scout projects. Our first eagle scout project will benefit Falls Church High School. This is the first of three Eagle Scout projects slated for completion this spring and summer! For our second Eagle Scout project, scouts painted a rainbow mural at the Center for Autism and Related Disorders in Arlington.
