Serving the Herndon, Reston, Dranesville, Sterling, and Great Falls areas of Northern Virginia
This page has links to our library of
background information on a wide range of topics of interest to Scouts and their
families. For those new to camping, check out our "Tips for New Campers".
Even seasoned campers know that it's best to use a checklist before heading out
-- the middle of a pouring rainstorm is not the time to discover that you forgot
to pack your rain fly. We've gathered together some other background
information that will be helpful to both new and seasoned Scouts (and friends of
Scouting). We're always adding more, so check back from time to time.
