Welcome to the Oldest Boy Scout Troop in Loudoun; located in the town of Leesburg, VA. We support boys in grades 6-12 throughout Loudoun County and are part of the Goose Creek District in the National Capital Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Troop 1159 is proud to be chartered by VFW Post 1177 which organizes, manages, and supports the Troop — providing guidance and support for the youth of the community. We are a boy-run, non-denominational, organization dedicated to instilling the principles of Boy Scouting into all those willing to learn. Our adult leaders act simply as advisers to the boys.

Scoutmaster's Introduction - Matt Giamporcaro

Welcome to the Troop 1159 website! On behalf of all of the leaders and parents striving to make this a fun and exciting adventure for your boys, I'd like to extend our invitation to attend a Troop meeting and find out all the benefits scouting can bring to you! We are closer to your Pack than you may have realized. Please see the Goose Creek Cub Packs or a Map and distance. 

Meetings are at 7:00 pm on Tuesdays at VFW Post 1177 at 401 Old Waterford Rd, Leesburg across from the Rust Library and generally run one to one and a half hours. The Scout Patrol Leader Council (PLC) meeting (aka Green Bar) replaces the regular meeting every 1st Tuesday of the month but all scouts and parents are welcome to attend... Please contact us via email when you plan to visit to ensure our plans coincide.

We have a Court of Honor 2x per year, attend a BSA Resident Camp for a week in June-July, take High Adventure trips and our Committee meets monthly. Our activities vary and are planned yearly by the SPL/ASPL and approved by the Scouts and adult Leadership. We have a Scout-led Troop which is guided, enabled, and empowered by Adult leadership but not directed by it. We give the scouts the opportunity and means to achieve their goals while encouraging them to be independent young leaders.
