Welcome to Troop 1390 of the National Capital Area Council, Occoquan District. We are located in Dale City, VA, our chartering organization is Woodbridge Elks Lodge #2355. Troop 1390 was first chartered in 1974. With parental involvement and excellent leadership we have had 40 successful years. We currently have more than 50 registered scouts and 26 scouters. We meet on a weekly basis with the exception of holidays at Henderson Elementary (when the school is closed we meet at Woodbridge Elks Lodge). Our meeting time is 7:30 - 8:30, class "A" uniforms mandatory, class "B" uniform during the summer. With the approval of the troop committee, our scouts have planned another active year. Troop 1390 has a campout/outdoor activity monthly, except during December when the scouts are selling Christmas as their fundraiser. The scouts attend two district camporees each year and summer camp of their choosing. Troop 1390 scouts have done Philmont back country trek and cavalcades, Flordia Seabase scuba adventure; out island adventure and sailing, hiking Old Rag mountain and parts of the Appalachian trail, summer camp at Goshen, Raven Knob, T. Brady Saunders, Camp Powhatan etc. Troop 1390 is a boy-led Troop. Adhering to this principle can sometimes be frustrating, chaotic, and uncertain for everyone involved in the Troop. This is perfectly normal and a part of the boys developing ownership in their leadership responsibilities. The focus is on long-term personal development, vice short-term perfection. Empowering boys to be leaders is the core of Scouting. Scouts learn by doing, and what they do is lead their patrols and their troop. With the direction, coaching, and support of adult leaders, the boys themselves develop a troop program, then take responsibility for figuring out how they will achieve their program goals. One of our most important challenges is to train boy leaders to run the troop. The boys will make mistakes now and then and will rely upon the adult leaders to guide them. But only through real hands-on experience as leaders can boys learn to lead. History Troop 1390 has been in existence since 1974. Over 300 young men from the Woodbridge community have been Scouts of Troop 1390 since its inception, and over 50 of them have obtained the rank of Eagle Scout. Over 100 adults have been registered leaders with the Troop. Over the past 40 years the adult leadership has provided camping opportunities for the Scouts that has taken them to Bahamas, Delaware, Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. Over the past 40 years the Troop has completed numerous service projects at such places as; Quantico National Cemetery, Prince William Forest Park, Prince William Park Authority, ACTS, Prince William County Homeless Prevention Shelter, Dale City Historical Trail, Muriel Humphrey Respite Day Care Center, many Prince William County Schools, Rikkis Refuge, Talgren Baseball for Lukemia, Prince William County Hypothermia Shelter and Relay for Life.

Founded in 1883, YMCAs collectively make up the largest nonprofit community service organization in America. YMCAs are at the heart of community life in neighborhoods and towns across the nation. They work to meet the health and social service needs of 16.9 million men, women and children.Ys help people develop values and behavior that are consistent with Christian principles. Ys are for people of all faiths, races, abilities, ages and incomes. No one is turned away for inability to pay. YMCAs' strength is in the people they bring together.In the average Y, a volunteer board sets policy for its executive, who manages the operation with full-time and part-time staff and volunteer leaders. Ys meet local community needs through organized activities called programs. In its own way, every Y nurtures the healthy development of children and teens; strengthens families; and makes its community a healthier, safer, better place to live.YMCA programs are tools for building the values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Longtime leaders in community-based health and fitness and aquatics, Ys teach kids to swim, offer exercise classes for people with disabilities and lead adult aerobics. They also offer hundreds of other programs in response to community needs, including camping, child care (the Y movement is the nation's largest not-for-profit provider), teen clubs, environmental programs, substance abuse prevention, youth sports, family nights, job training, international exchange and many more.Organization: Each YMCA is a charitable nonprofit, qualifying under Section 501(c)(3) of the U.S. Tax Code. Each is independent. YMCAs are required by the national constitution to pay annual dues, to refrain from discrimination and to support the YMCA mission. All other decisions are local choices, including programs offered, staffing and style of operation. The national office, called the YMCA of the USA, is in Chicago, with Field offices in California, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota and Texas. It is staffed by 241 employees. Its purpose is to serve member associations.International: YMCAs are at work in more than 120 countries around the world, serving more than 30 million people. Some 230 local US Ys maintain more than 370 relationships with Ys in other countries, operate international programs and contribute to YMCA work worldwide through the YMCA World Service campaign. Like other national YMCA movements, the YMCA of the USA is a member of the World Alliance of YMCAs, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.History: The YMCA was founded in London, England, in 1844 by George Williams and about a dozen friends who lived and worked as clerks in a drapery a forerunner of dry-goods and department stores. Their goal was to help young men like themselves find God. The first members were evangelical Protestants who prayed and studied the Bible as an alternative to vice. The Y movement has always been nonsectarian and today accepts those of all faiths at all levels of the organization, despite its unchanging name, the Young Men's Christian Association.The first U.S. YMCA started in Boston in 1851, the work of Thomas Sullivan, a retired sea captain who was a lay missionary. Ys spread fast and soon were serving boys and older men as well as young men. Although 5,145 women worked in YMCA military canteens in World War I, it wasn't until after World War II that women and girls were admitted to full membership and participation in the US YMCAs. Today half of all YMCA members and program members are female, and half are under age 18.
