Welcome to our website! Troop 521 meets every Tuesday from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm at Cool Spring Baptist Church in Mechanicsville, Virginia.

We are a large and very active troop with a variety of activities and scheduled monthly outings.  We attribute our success to our active adult leadership, "boy-run troop" philosophy with focus on advancement, merit badges and high adventure activities which keeps our scouts very interested and involved. 

Please contact our Scoutmaster if you would like to join or find out more about us

The Troop will be going to Camp T. Brady Saunders for our summer camp this year – June 28th to July 4th, 2026. We will be returning early enough on July 4th so that it shouldn’t affect your picnic or fireworks plans. The fee this year is $460 but with the HOVC Season Pass program, our Scouts will receive a $40 discount bringing the fee down to $420 per Scout. Adult leaders fee will be $195.

Checking online today, I see that the Expiration Dates for most of us have been updated to 12/31/2026! Hopefully this will bring to an end all of those notices coming from National telling our members that they have expired (Heavens, I hope not!) and are not registered!
