About Liên Đoàn Hùng Vương
Liên Đoàn Hùng Vương, Troop 612 and Pack 612, was created on December 6, 1996 and started off with only five scouts and two active leaders. With supporters such as Saint Patrick’s Episcopal Church, our faithful sponsor at the time, we have grown and moved to Robert Frost Middle School in Fairfax as our main meeting spot since August 2016 to accommodate our fast growing membership.
Our troop has achieved the Quality Unit awards for many years and many of our scouts have earned Eagle Scout awards and Order of the Arrow memberships. Our leaders are experienced, certified by Scouting America, and are dedicated to the advancement and growth of our future leaders.
Our program is focused on developing our scouts’ outdoor and leadership skills and encourages acts of community service. In order to accomplish these goals, our troop has evolved to become one of the most active troops in the area. We strive to participate in numerous camping trips, merit badge events, and Jamborees to hone their personal skills while also creating an environment for the scouts to socialize and have many memorable experiences.
