Troop 964 is proud to congratulate Alumni Jesse Primozic on his recent graduation from the US Marine Corps bootcamp! Great work Jesse and thank you for your service to our country! Below is a photo of Jesse at the recent graduation with his proud parents, including former Troop 964 Assistant Scoutmaster Mike Primozic.

Troop 964 undertook the service project of cleaning up the Playground for the First United Presbyterian Church of Dale City, our Charter Organization, to provide the Preschool children a clean, safe and fun environment to learn and grow outdoors. For this effort we received a very kind card from the church Preschool staff we’d like to share.

Our Perfect Eagles patrol opened the Prince William County School Board meeting by leading those gathered in the Pledge of Allegiance. Check out all of the photos in our 2021 Photo Galleries page.
