Welcome !

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

From Mick Rost:

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!

So 2026 is off to a good start. No snow yet.

The Troops attention is now going to focus on the program that the PLC has prepared.

First up....  Winter Camp 2026.   Each scout attending should have received a separate email with their schedule and other important information. Please look it over and bring any questions you may have to Tuesday's meeting.

If you are not one of the 22 Troop 521 scouts registered for Winter Camp, and you want to go. Please see Mr Call or Mr Rapp and we will see if we can get you in. Council is calling the camp sold out, but sometimes there is some room if you get with us now.

We will be updating the Troop calendar over the next day or two to reflect those activities planned by the PLC for the next 6 months.
