Welcome!

 

Boy Scouts of America Troop 976, OLGC, Vienna, VA BSA Troop 976 is sponsored by Our Lady of Good Counsel Church (OLGC) in Vienna, Virginia. Membership in the church is not required and boys of any faith are welcome. The Church provides the troop a place to meet, and is ultimately responsible for the Troop. Troop 976 is part of Boy Scouts of America, which designs the program, provides training for leaders, writes the Boy Scout Handbook, and gives the troop the support it needs to run a quality program. Troop 976 is in the George Mason District of the National Capital Area Council, which covers the Washington DC and surrounding suburbs in Virginia and Maryland. The local council office is in Bethesda, Maryland. Our troop meets year round on Wednesday nights. Currently, we have over 70 registered scouts. Each scout is expected to attend wearing his field uniform. Many more details are available within the website. To find out more about our troop, click the "Contact Us" option under Menu on the left.

Congratulations to Ignacio, Thomas G., Jordan, Nicholas and Domenic who have earned the Ad Altare Dei Roman Catholic Medal.

Congratulations to Victor Bernstein, Ethan Cottle, Seth Hodges, William Lavallee, Paul Liskey, Ben Pravecek, and Matthew Williams.
