Welcome to Troop 895!

Boy Scout Troop 895 continues a 50 year tradition of guiding boys through the Scouting program for ages 11-18. We are a fun group with members from Falls Church City, Alexandria City, Arlington County, and Fairfax County, Virginia. Falls Church Presbyterian is our proud sponsoring organization, but like most troops, we welcome members regardless of religious faith.

This website provides access to important information about the troop including the calendar, forms, and helpful websites.  For members of the troop, there is additional information such as rosters and other private information.  

2012 Summer Camp

It is time to start thinking about scout summer camps again. Troop 895 has reserved space at Camp Brady Saunders in Goochland, VA. We have reserved space for 2 different weeks July 1-7, and July 23-29. It is time to get dates on your calendars and for the Troop to start making plans for its annual summer camp adventure. Scout spaces will be allocated in the order in which applications to attend and payments are received.

Camp Brady T. Saunders in Heart of Virginia Council. Weeks 2 and 5, July 1-7 and 22-29.

Note that the 22nd is Sunday. The camp this week has a lot of campers coming on Monday, July 23, but in fact will be open with program on Sunday the 22nd.
