Troop 845 is excited to invite you and eager to welcome you to their Open House! THe troop is chartered by Redeemer Lutheran Church located at 9400 Redbridge Road in Richmond, near the intersection of Midlothian Turnpike and Powhite Parkway. Our unit meets every Monday from 7 to 8:30 pm. We are hosting an open house (see attached flyer) on Feb. 28th from 7-8 pm and invite you to come out and visit with us and see what our troop has to offer your Scouts.
The evening will start with our regular opening scout lead opening. Parents will be given a presentation on Troop operations and activities and then given an opportunity to ask questions. Our Scouts will interact with the Webelos by playing some games and showing some Scout skills they have learned. We encourage the Webelos to ask our Scouts questions about the Troop and what we do. We will conclude the open house at 8pm. You are free to leave at that time or you may stay until 8:30 and observe as we conduct Troop business and close the meeting. We look forward to seeing you and ask that you RSVP to information@troop845.com.
Due to snow last week, this event was postponed to this new date!:
You are invited to attend an open house with Troop 800 (boys troop) and Troop 888 (girls Troop)!
Date: Saturday, February 26, 2022 Time: 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM Place: Bethel Baptist Church on Rt. 60, just west of West Chester Commons Shopping Center. 1100 Huguenot Springs Road Midlothian, Virginia 23113
We have a morning of scouting fun planned for your youth with cooking, fire building, and erecting tents, as well as rope knots and lashing activities, some of the activities your youth can experience as a scout! We would also like to share with you as parents why Troop 800 and Troop 888 might be a good a good fit for your adolescent and your family.
You can find more information about Troop 800 at www.bsatroop800.net. It provides information about the troop, with stories and photos about the fun awaiting your boys. Troop 888 will have information at the event.
The 2021 Huguenot Trail District Pinewood Derby was held this morning at Bethel Baptist Church, Midlothian. You may watch the recorded race
HERE and see how your fellow scouts did! The race “Final Standings” and “Individual Rank Race Standings” are listed below.
We want to thank Chesterfield Autoparts for their sponsorship allowing us to purchase patches and trophies; Bethel Baptist for the generous use of their facilities, the leaders of Pack 876 (Chris, Jennifer and Brian) for the track usage, computers and time, and Districtvolunteer Mike Davis for leading us in another Pinewood Derby!
Lastly, we need to thank all the cub scouts and their families for trusting us with your treasured cars. It was very obvious to all race officials the amount of energy and hard work that went into the design and building of your cars!
The order for patches and trophies will be placed on Monday and we will organize the distribution when the order is received. We appreciate your patience as we do things a little differently this year with trophies. (Not knowing if Packs would participate in theDistrict race made race officials cautious with spending money and the decision was made to place a post-race order.)

Scavenger Hunt rules:

Please be respectful of the property you are visiting and follow the rules of
Leave No Trace.
Parents of Cubs, give your Cubs a map and have them use those map skills to follow your route. It would cut down on your driving and help your Cub’s attention span if you try to solve the clues before heading out. Have your Cubs help you search the internet and talk them through the clue process.

District leaders are so proud of what the Cub Scouts in Pack 1838-Powhatan Community Church, have done to provide food for the less fortunate children in their communities of Powhatan, Cumberland and Buckingham. Read more about their efforts and their adoptive program
After many months of digging and fund raising Pack 893 and Troop 893 at St. Edward Epiphany School dedicated their new flagpole on 7 December, 2015, Pearl Harbor Day. The flagpole was blessed by Father Don Lemay and a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol was presented to the Principal of the school.
Has your Pack, Troop or Crew done something newsworthy? Make sure to submit it to the Richmond-Times Dispatch and let the District committee know. Make our Huguenot Trail Scouts shine!
