Troop 1396G Hits the Ground Running!
We're thrilled to announce that Troop 1396G was officially chartered on May 31, 2024! Our founding five scouts have embarked on an exciting journey, and we're already making memories.
In August, Troop 1396G held their inaugural campout, joining forces with Troop 1396B to explore the stunning Shenandoah Caverns and America's Parade Museum. Our scouts had a blast on their first campout, and anticipation is building for the adventures to come.
