Fall Camporee
Troop 150 planned to attend the 2015 fall camporee at Gunston Hall in Mason Neck, Virginia. Unfortunatley the event was canceled due to the threat of Hurricane Joaquin. This is the first time an Old Dominion District Camporee has ever been canceled. The program for the fall camporee will be merged with the upcoming spring campree.
Annandale Parade
Troop 150 lead the Annandale Chamber of Comerce’s Fall Parade Haloween weekend. The Troop holds this position of honor because they are the oldest Troop in fairfax county to call home.
