SERVICE OPPORTUNITY at Charles Barrett Elementary

May 3, from 12-3pm

The Charles Barrett Elementary PTA is hosting a spring carnival on Saturday, May 3, from 12-3pm, and they need volunteers to help run & supervise the various games (very simple games, such as bean bag toss, sack race, football toss, etc.). This is a very fun community event and a great way to complete volunteer time. Please consider signing up, even if you can only attend for part of the time - the PTA will greatly appreciate any and all help you're able to provide based on your schedule. FREE PIZZA for all volunteers! If interested, please reach out to Rachel Colangelo at (202) 297-2965 or rachel.y.colangelo@gmail.com. If you are a Scout reaching out directly, please be sure to include a parent or guardian on your email / text. Thank you!

The Alexandria Beautification Commission would like Troop 129 to help out with planting trees on May 4. The planting is part of the City/ABC "tree equity" project in which trees are planted in all neighborhoods, as some have been shortchanged in the past. This group of trees - 10 in all - would be planted at John Adams Elementary School over off Beauregard Street. Turn onto Rayburn Ave. and then right into the school driveway, and the work is right in front.

2026 National Jamboree

Message:

July 22-31, 2026
Summit Bechtel Scout Reservation; West Virginia

Scouts must be 12 years old by July 22,2026

The National Jamboree is not a Troop event, but we are sharing this opportunity with you as some may wish to attend.

What’s a Jamboree? It’s not camp. National Jamboree is 360-degrees of fun, friends and fellowship with hands-on adventure that takes you places you never thought you’d go and challenge you to try things you never thought you could.

It’s the beginning of your own heroes’ journey that will challenge you to go farther than you ever thought possible. You’ll reach deeper and lift yourself higher to become the best version of yourself.
