ABOUT TROOP 1344

We are a medium size troop in Burke, VA focusing on personal growth, leadership development, citizenship training, community service, and character building for our Scouts.

We have strong Scout participation and adult engagement — an energetic, engaged team of adult leaders and parents, many with military or Federal service backgrounds.

Our troop regularly earns the highest recognition for Scout troop quality. We regularly train and recognize Scout and adult leaders with unit / District / Council / National training and awards.

Scouts new to Scouting, and those transferring in from other units, join a dedicated, Scout-led onboarding patrol for their first six months, mentored by our troop’s most experienced Scout leaders.

Troop 1344 was chartered in the Burke Lake District (formerly named Patriot District) of the National Capital Area Council on Veterans Day, November 11, 2005, and is sponsored by the American Legion Post 176 in Springfield, Virginia.

We meet Monday nights, 7 PM – 8:30 PM, at Cherry Run Elementary School (occasionally at Burke United Methodist Church).
