Event Photos From Tr. Maggie: It was an absolute honor to represent VSC and LDTG at Liên Đoàn Phù Đổng’s Eagle Scout Court of Honor. Celebrating 16 Scouts achieving the rank of Eagle Scout in a single ceremony was an incredible milestone to witness, standing as a true testament to the dedication, hard work, and strong community within LĐ Phù Đổng.  Beyond the inspiration of the ceremony itself, I thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful hospitality hosted by Tr.

 TDCL went on a hiking trip to Mount Umunhum on Saturday, June 13, 2026. - Event Album "In the mid-20th century, Mount Umunhum was acquired by the United States Air Force and was used as a radar station during the Cold War. The summit was crowned with a large white radar tower, which became a landmark visible from miles away. However, the station was decommissioned in 1980, and the tower was dismantled in 2017.

The mountaintop features an observation deck, and several hiking trails that offer panoramic views of the surrounding landscape...
