ABOUT TROOP 681

The St. James Roman Catholic Church, in Falls Church, Virginia, sponsors troop 681, chartered in 1952. Within the Boy Scouts of America, we are located in the George Mason District of the National Capital Area Council.

The Troop has about 70+ active Scouts ranging from sixth through twelfth grades, plus a half-dozen Adult Leaders.

The philosophy of the Troop is simple - we seek to take beginner Scouts and develop them into tough, socially responsible citizen-leaders with positive, can-do attitudes towards their own and America's future. As an aid to this philosophy, the Troop runs an ambitious Scout-run outdoor/camping program, with at least one major (weekend) activity a month, plus a comprehensive Scout-run advancement program. The Troop also participates in several long-term camping trips every summer, including a BSA summer camp, a BSA high adventure trek (usually Philmont) and a Troop-developed high adventure trek (for example, biking the entire C & O Canal, SCUBA diving in the Virgin Islands, backpacking the entire Shenandoah National Park, etc.) Please refer to our calendar for a list of this year's outdoor program.

If you are interested in joining Troop 681 as an Adult Leader, or if your son would like to join (and meets our membership restrictions), please contact the Scoutmaster Kevin Coleman at the address below.
