Thanks to all who helped with our Troop 439 Open House last Sunday.  It was a great turnout.

As of now we have five new scouts, additional youth considering, and our girl troop has successfully launched.

We continue to invite new scouts to join us in our adventures.  We have a fun year planned.

This is a great time to join scouts.

Come see us in the Kensington Labor Day Parade.

Visit us at our Labor Day hot dog and snow cone stand at Armory Ave. & Mitchell St.

Visit us at the Kensington Model Train Show at the Town Hall on September 6 & 7.

Visit us at any Monday Troop meeting.  We meet at 7PM when MCPS is in session.

Discover Fun and Adventure with Scouting America

Come and see how Scouts have fun and learn new skills.  Over the past year, we have been camping most months, biking, hiking, kayaking, orienteering, cold weather camping at the Potomac District Klondike Derby, summer camping at Goshen Scout Reservation, and High Adventure hiking/camping at Philmont Scout Reservation, participated in Eagle Scout projects, and various community service activities.  You as a Scout participate in planning and leading events for the Troop.

Scouting America is a year-round, leadership program that helps boys and girls ages 11 - 17 become the best future versions of themselves. From taking a first hike in the mountains to starting a first campfire, Scouting America is all about making friends, testing limits, increasing confidence, and pushing yourself to do things you never thought possible!

Stop by and check out Troop 439!
