BSA Troop 414 meets every Monday at 7:00pm in the Fellowship Hall at Our Saviour's Luteran Church in Norge, Virginia.
We are a medium-sized Troop with a variety of activities and scheduled monthly outings. Please feel free to peruse our Troop Calendar to get a taste for our events.
For our first year scouts, our focus is on rank advancement with a very exciting program, the objective being that every 1st year scout achieve First Class by the end of their first year.
For our older scouts, we have many high adventure activities and opportunities for merit badges and rank advancement as well.
If you are looking for fun & adventure, then BSA Troop 414might be for you! New prospective members of Troop 414 are invited to visit one of our Troop meetings to learn more and speak with the adult leaders.
