Welcome to Troop 1196!

BSA Troop 1196 G was originally chartered by Prince of Peace, and is now chartered by VFW - Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 1503, located in Dale City, Virginia. The troop meets weekly on Wednesday evenings from 7:00-8:30 P.M. The troop is open to all girls 11-17 years of age.

BSA Troop 1196 B was a troop in the Prince William District which has merged with Troop 1919. Troop 1919 is also chartered by the VFW .

In addition to weekly troop meetings, the Troops strive to conduct monthly campouts year-round and travel to different summer camps each year. Pre-Covid, both troops traveled to Camp Daniel Boone in North Carolina. In the summer of 2022, the Troops attended summer camp in Michigan. 2023 and 2024, troops traveled to West Virginia and Pennsylvania respectively, with older scouts participating in High Adventure.
