Troop 876 is looking for adult volunteers to help plan for upcoming events (3 campouts, Scouting for Food and our Fruit Basket fund raiser). If you are a parent that has not done this before, we will pair you with an experienced adult. Your role is typically to help to ensure that we have a plan for the the event, manage sign-ups, permission slips, medical forms, ensure we have adequate transportation, mentor scouts planning the event, etc. It is a great way to learn how the Troop operates. If you are interested, please reach out to Mr. Runnels or Mr. Call to answer questions and volunteer.

To help publicize Scouting for Food, scouts and adult leaders are invited to attend the October 10 meeting of the Alexandria City Council, where they will vote on a resolution supporting Scouting for Food and encourage city residents to donate to Scouting for Food. If you are able to attend, please wear Class A uniform and arrive at the council chambers at City Hall, 301 King Street by 6:45 pm.

Registration for the 2024 Winter NYLT on both 12 - 15 Jan 20 and 27 - 28 Jan 2024 (both weekends must be attended) opens at noon on 1 Oct. The cost is $340. 

The official "BSA Troop 876 - Mount Vernon, VA" page is a public page for community engagement.  The troop also has a separate "Friends and Family of Troop 876" private group to share pictures and fun stories from campouts.  All are welcome to post in the Friends and Family group.  Please help us keep the public page updated with pictures of scouts at recent events.   To send pictures, or for more information, contact Mr. Call (johnrkcall@gmail.com) or Ms. Vann (hlr207@gmail.com).
