Axe Yard!

The weather finally cooperated last weekend, and we were able to set up the axe yard. Great instruction from one of our more senior scouts – four more scouts now have their Totin’ Chip and completed some rank requirements.

The troop hosted a pancake breakfast for our chartering organization, the Falls Church Presbyterian Church. First one since 2020 – everyone was happy to see the return of the tradition.
