About Troop 1257Troop 1257 was chartered by Church of the Epiphany, Herndon and is a Judeo-Christian Troop set in an environment based on Biblical principles where you and your friends can safely share new experiences together. Scouting is for all boys at least 11 years of age, have completed the 5th grade or have earned the Cub Scout Arrow of Light Award. New Scouts benefit from a program whereby they can earn their First Class rank over the course of the first year. Experienced Scouts (2nd and 3rd year) assist first year Scouts and continue to learn and grow. Older boys can participate in High Adventure treks each year: backpacking, canoeing, white-water rafting, sailing - the list goes on! The opportunities are endless! Patrols are the building block of Scouting and are made up of six to eight boys who work together to make things happen! Friendship, fun and adventure - that's what Scouting is about! Meetings are Tuesday nights from 7:00 - 8:30 at Church of the Epiphany, Herndon. If you're looking for a place to belong and a place to be the best you can be - Troop 1257 is the place for you.
