Twenty-eight scouts and nine adults from Boy Scout Troop 30 of Centreville, attended Camp Pipsico Scout Reservation in Spring Grove, Va., the week July 10-16. Of the 28 scouts, 22 scouts focused on earning 80-plus merit badges over the course of the week. Merit badges were diverse and unique to include archeology, small boat sailing, movie making, mining, veterinary medicine, and numerous other more traditional merit badges. The six remaining scouts and one adult attended an aggressive SCUBA training program where each of them earned dive certification and the scouts also earned the SCUBA merit badge. Troop 30 is comprised of rising students in the pyramids of Westfield High School, Centreville High School, Chantilly High School, and home-school. Chartered by Centreville Presbyterian Church, Troop 30 is known for its small hometown community feel and has been shaping boys into men of character and self-sufficiency since 1999. The troop’s website, BSATroop30NCAC.org, has information on getting involved in Scouting.
