WELCOME TO THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA - Troop 1154, Ashburn, VA
SCOUTING promises you the great outdoors. As a scout, you will learn how to camp and hike without leaving a trace and how to take care of the land. You will study wildlife up close and learn about nature all around you. There are plenty of skills for you to master, and you can teach others what you have learned. Everyone helping everyone else - that's part of Scouting, too.
SCOUTING promises you friendship. Members of the troop you join might be boys you already know, and you will meet many other Scouts along the way. Many could be lifelong friends.
SCOUTING promises you opportunities to work toward the respected rank of Eagle Scout. You will set goals for yourself and then follow clear routes to achieve them.
SCOUTING promises you tools to help you make the most of yourself, your family, your community, and your nation. The good deeds you perform every day will improve the lives of those around you. You will be prepared to help others in time of need.
SCOUTING promises you experiences and duties that will help you mature into a strong, wise adult. The Scout Oath and the Scout Law can guide you while you are a Scout and throughout your life.
Adventure, learning, challenge, responsibility - the promise of Scouting is all this and more. Are you ready for the adventure to begin?

About
Troop 1154 was formed in December 2000 and is chartered by the George C. Marshall International Center. Our troop proudly continues the scouting tradition in the Ashburn area, focusing on the four aims, or purposes, that shape the program: character development, citizenship training, leadership, and mental and physical fitness.
The leaders of this troop are dedicated to making scouting a positive experience for each Scout. The leaders of this troop are all volunteer Scouters and parents who are dedicated to the program. However, parental help is a necessary element. The most successful Scouts are the ones whose families encourage, support, and nurture them. This does not mean doing the work for them. Rather, the Scout must be the one to learn and understand the materials. As parents, we have to encourage them to do their best and to point them to information to succeed.
Troop 1154 Eagle Scouts
Troop 1154 is proud of each Scout in our Troop and the many accomplishments made and skills developed along each of their individual scouting journeys. Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the Scouts BSA. Since its inception in 1911, only four percent of Scouts have earned this rank which requires dedication to completing a wide variety of merit badges, leadership fellow Scouts, developing and leading a community service project, letters of recommendation, and self-reflection in a personal statement. We are proud to have supported more than 100 Scouts in their goal to reach the rank of Eagle Scout.
