Cub Scouts
Cub Scouts is where ADVENTURE meets FUN and FRIENDS!
Imagine a world where curious minds explore the wilderness, build forts, and learn to be kind, respectful, and helpful—traits that shape boys and girls into the leaders of tomorrow.
In Cub Scouts, friendships are forged, memories are etched, and character blossoms like a wildflower. It’s more than just an after-school activity; it’s a journey of laughter, growth, and endless possibilities. Let the adventure begin!
Scouting BSA
Scouting is truly a place where young men and women can challenge themselves, discover the great outdoors, and build lifelong friendships. They learn practical skills from camping and knot-tying to leadership and community service, all while having an absolute blast.
The excitement of conquering a new trail, the thrill of the first campfire, and the pride in earning a new badge; these experiences ignite a joy and passion that can inspire a young Scout for a lifetime.
It’s not just about the fun activities; it’s about growing up with a sense of purpose and confidence. That’s the true spirit of Scouts – fun, adventure, and character-building all rolled into one.
Older girls and boys (grades 6-12) can join Scouting. All youth are able to participate and earn the highest rank of Eagle Scout. Scouting America is committed to serving youth, families, and communities through programs that deliver character development and values-based leadership training for young people.
Scouts meet as Troop 492B (boys) and 492G (girls). This hybrid model builds on the benefit of a single‐gender program while also providing character and leadership opportunities for both boys and girls.
For families with both younger and older kids, the Pack and Troop meet at the same time and location for our regular weekly meetings. This allows families to participate in both programs at the same time.
Activities
Family Camping & Outings
We have many opportunities to get out into the great outdoors, from family camping weekends to summer camps, and more!
All units of 492 are chartered by the Rotary Club of Rockville, Maryland
We serve boys and girls in Cub Scouts and Scouting BSA. We are a family program, with lots of involvement by family members. Younger siblings are also welcome to participate!
All Scouting 492 units are in the White Oak District, which is part of the Montgomery Service Area, located in the National Capital Area Council of Scouting America.
The Foundations of Scouting
-
Scout Oath: On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.
-
Scout Law: A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent.
-
Scout Mission: Scouting America aims to prepare young people for lives of impact and purpose. We welcome, at every level of our movement, youth and families who wish to live such a life of impact and purpose, guided by the Scout Oath and Law.
