Welcome to the Troop 1018 webpage

Tonight's Troop Meeting (and court of honor) is cancelled.  We will have the COH next Monday.

Troop 1018 enjoyed a wonderful high adventure experience in the Swiss Alps this past July at the Kandersteg International Scout Centre.  A special thanks to all of the leaders and parents who worked so hard to make this trip possible.

Pictures of the trip are posted on this page

To the many international friends that we met on the trip, we'd love to hear from you.  Please email us at: hello@troop1018.org.  We will forward your email to any member of the troop that you specify.

A warm Boy Scout welcome from Troop 1018, Dranesville, Virginia and thanks for stopping by our website.  We hope you'll find the information here both useful and practical whether you're interested in Scouting, camping, or the history of the Dranesville area.  We have lots of helpful hints for Scouts and plenty of pictures and stories from past campouts, summer camps, and other Troop 1018 activities.

Dranesville, Virginia is located about 25 miles west of Washington, DC, just minutes from Reston, Sterling, Great Falls, and Herndon.  It's a town with a rich history and the site of a battle in the early days of the Civil War.  Check out the "history of our area" page to find out more about Dranesville's interesting past. The Dranesville United Methodist Church graveyard dates back to at least the early 1800's.  The troop has transcribed information from tombstones which may be of interest to those doing genealogical research on the area.
