A note from our Scoutmaster: I would like to welcome you to our web site. It is our goal for each scout to grow and develop; by learning Duty to God and country, leadership skills, physical fitness, service to his community and good qualities of character. |
Our History:
Troop 857 was first chartered in March 1955 in the town of Occoquan, Virginia. The first Troop Scoutmaster, Scouts and sponsor are unknown, however, the first Eagle Scout in the troop was Lewis R. Dixon in 1959. Since that time, Troop 857 has awarded the Eagle rank to over 65 Scouts. Two of those Eagle Scouts of Troop 857 have become Scoutmasters, Bobby Sharpe, in 1967 and Bill Swarm, in 1992. Today Troop 857 upholds its tradition to promote the "scouting Spirit and Service to others"."

Scout Louis Sanchez designed the seal of Boy Scout Troop 857 in 1982. The points of the star represent the points on the compass that points the Scout in the right direction. The fleur-de-lis in the center of the seal is the traditional Boy Scout insignia. The colors, red, black, and yellow were chosen to symbolize the Scout’s self-reliance, leadership and faith to God and country. |

Troop 857 is chartered by Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton (SEAS) Catholic Church, Lake Ridge, Virginia. Troop meetings are held every 3rd, 4th and fifth Monday nights from 7:30pm to 8:30pm, in the Parish Fellowship hall, except for school holidays, and other special occasions.
The Eagle Award is Scouting’s highest achievement. Fewer than 4 percent of all Scouts that start Scouting will earn the Eagle rank — a testament to its high standards. The following are our Eagle Scouts
