Troop 612

Liên Đoàn Hùng Vương is a joint Boy and Girl Scout troop based in Fairfax, Virginia. Our troop has been around for over two decades. Our program is focused on developing our scouts’ outdoor and leadership skills and encourages acts of community service. 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 skills while also creating an environment for the scouts to socialize and have many memorable experiences. We are committed to helping our scouts learn and grow into great people and leaders in their everyday life.

We are a Vietnamese troop, but we are not exclusive; we welcome anyone regardless of race or belief! We are part of a larger Vietnamese scouting network in the Washington D.C. Metropolitan region. We always engage with the Vietnamese community to celebrate Vietnamese traditions.
