Troop 200 has been chartered by St. Luke’s United Methodist Church since 1982. Troop 200 is part of the Chesapeake Bay District of the Colonial Virginia Council and subscribes fully to the Rules and Regulations of the National Council and the Colonial Virginia Council of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA). (Click here to view our charter document)

Troop 200 has a tradition of providing a full Scouting experience, including regular troop and patrol meetings with a robust advancement program, well-rounded outdoor program including weekend tent camping about 10 months each year, high adventure opportunities, and service projects to the community. Past outdoor activities include caving, snow skiing, cycling, canoeing, boating, and rock climbing/rappelling. The troop strives to provide motivated Scouts with plenty of opportunities to attain the First Class rank within one year of joining, while providing the older Scouts opportunities to obtain merit badges, participate in service projects, and experience high adventure activities. Troop 200 has been very successful in providing our Scouts the opportunity to achieve Scouting’s greatest honor, the rank of Eagle Scout.

Scoutmaster's Minute

June 2008

Scouts,
     Whew. . .time zips by when you’re having fun!  We did a little studying by going on a DC history campout, we did some training on our Basic Skills at Cheatham Annex, and we tested our VERY rusty backpacking skills at Sky Meadows. . .and didn’t do too badly. 
We’re continuing to work on our 2008 Focus Areas:  Scout-run, Advancement, and Backpacking.
    
Did I mention Service Projects?  You all have done GREAT.  We’ve had Eagle projects galore – and they all have produced the desired outcome. . .lots of learnin’ because leadin’ and plannin’ taint always easy!  How about Relay for Life, Flag Retirements, Recruiting, Food Drives! Giving of ourselves is a huge cornerstone to scouting and is always VERY important.
    
So what words of wisdom can I give?  Hmmm. . .are you like an untested new car model that has never been on a bumpy road?  Do you grumble & gripe when the going gets tough?  Do you fall to pieces because you haven’t experienced a tough road test? 
    
Scouting IS your Road Test.  You challenge yourselves by leading other scouts on new & rugged adventures, you take on challenges that others haven’t thought about, you test your limits, you find out your weak spots and you try to correct them.  Stick with it and you’ll be ready for life’s bumps & potholes. . .you’re a road tested leader that others will look to and say “that guy can take it”!
Yours in Scouting
Mr. Joe
