Troop 895
Every year we have a Court of Honor where we award our scouts with the badges and other awards that they have gained though-out the year. We had many great achievers this year.
This summer troop 895 went to camp Powhatan at the Blue Ridge Scout Reservation where we enjoyed a week of summer fun and adventures our scouts along with other scouts from other troops learned merit badges and other skills.
Here at troop 895, we have recently added two new Eagle Scouts to our troop Will and Madison, congratulations!
Troop 895 recently went on one of our favorite annual campouts…. Kayaking the scouts had a blast on the historic river and enjoyed the beautiful views.
We recently went indoor skydiving at an IFly building and took a class on aerodynamics. We also served a pancake breakfast to the congregation of our sponsor church.

On the15th and 16th of November troop 895 traveled to the Shenandoah for an exciting hiking campout. Our younger scouts participated in regular but still difficult hiking and returned to our campsite. Our older scouts participated in a 10-mile uphill backpacking trip that had them pitch their tents on a backcountry trail and continue to the rest of the troop in the morning.
Three times a year our troop host our court of honor to celebrate all the hard work we have put in over the course of the previous months.
Here are some photos from our October 2025 court of honor.
We recently participated in scout camporee here are some photos from the adventure

Those not in the local area can order wreaths and evergreen products for direct delivery to their home with the following link (https://giftitforward.com/fundraising-code/TR895VA001). Prices are higher than local sales which are delivered by Scouts, as shipping is included in the cost.
