Boy Scout Troop 5

Boy Scout Troop 5 offers a year-round adventure-based program designed to offer and encourage effective character, citizenship, and fitness training for boys age 11-17.

In addition to camping, scouts and adult leaders enjoy activities such as rock-climbing and rappelling, canoeing, target-shooting, visits to military bases, and more while accommodating the needs of today’s busy families.

Boy Scout meetings are held every Tuesday evening from 6:30pm to 8:00pm at The Episcopal Church of the Advent at 9629 Norfolk Ave, Norfolk VA 23503. Visits from prospective scouts are welcome at any meeting. To officially join our troop, please visit beascout.scouting.org.

We’re currently accepting new scouts to our troop and patrols. We typically meet at the The Episcopal Church of the Advent (9629 Norfolk Ave) every Tuesday evening. Sometimes we have offsite meetings, particularly in the summer – you can check our troop calendar just to be sure. When you are ready to join, it’s as easy as applying online at the button below.

Fundraising

Troop 5 is actively selling Trails End popcorn to support our activities in the coming year. Find us at our upcoming “show and sales” at our local Lowe’s and Food Lion. We also go door-to-door and sell online. Please spread the word and help our troop reach our fundraising goal of $10,000! Thank you!
