Monitor Merrimac District of the Colonial Virginia Council - Scouting America Scout Strong 5K

The Colonial Virginia Council of Scouting America (formerly the Boy Scouts of America) delivers a well-rounded program that builds physical, mental, and emotional strength while inspiring a lifelong love of learning and adventure. Today, we serve nearly 2,000 youth across our communities—and with your support, we can introduce even more families to the life-changing impact of Scouting.

Lace up your running shoes and join us for a great cause! The Monitor Merrimac District is proud to host our third annual Scout Strong 5K.

Whether you run, jog, or walk, this event is for everyone. It’s a fun and meaningful way for Scouts, families, and community members to get outdoors, stay active, and support Scouting. All proceeds directly benefit the Colonial Virginia Council of Scouting America.
