Colonial District is part of the Virginia Central field service area in the National Capital Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America. It is the home to 73 scouting units, serving over 2,300 youth in the areas of Alexandria, Lorton and Mt Vernon in Fairfax County, Virginia. Additionally the Learning for Life program in the district has 3 units serving 38 members.
We are bringing the behind-the-screen skills of Pixar, DreamWorks, Disney and many other creative career opportunities to our Scouts with the recent announcement of the Animation Merit Badge.

A Scout is hands-on – so are potential Scouts. That’s why the Boys’ Life mini-mags are a great tool to drive interest in joining your unit. Packed with the Boys’ Life content kids love (and can’t get enough of), these mini-mags are sure to pique the interest of youth who thirst for adventure.
As the nation’s foremost program of youth development, it’s important we stay abreast of trends. Did you know young campers say having a smartphone is almost as important as toilet paper in the outdoors?!
