Welcome to Troop 1503!

 

In 2026, BSA Troop 1196 and BSA Troop 1919 are merging to be BSA Troop 1503. The troop is chartered by VFW - Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 1503, located in Dale City, Virginia.  The troop meets weekly on Wednesday evenings from 7:30-9:00 P.M. The troop is open to all youth 11-17 years of age.

In addition to weekly troop meetings, the Troops strive to conduct monthly campouts year-round and travel to different summer camps each year. 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. In 2025, the troop headed to Camp Bashore in Pennsylvania. This year, summer camp is at Camp Daniel Boone in North Carolina.
