Welcome, Parents!

Scouting is a whole new world for many boys and their families.  We hope to make your adventure a positive one.

When you are ready to join, we will need a bit of paperwork from you:

    1. BSA Applications (Select Youth Application)
    2. BSA Medical Form (Part A & B only for Cub Scouts) ~ NO doctor signature required!

You will then need to head to Bethesda downtown and visit the Scout Shop to pick up a uniform and handbook for your son.   Don’t worry, the staff at the Scout Shop know what you need to get to be a member of Pack 457. I recommend getting the shirts with pre-stiched ncac and pack 457 patches. Else you should consider purchasing badgemagic from scout store so that you can easily put the patches. 

Once you have your uniform and patches, you are done and ready to attend the pack / den meetings.

The pack will provide all new incoming scouts with a Class B ( yellow shirt ). Additional shirts can be purchased at a Pack meeting.

We have prepared a new Parents handbook which will help you get with most of the questions.

Have additional questions? At each meeting a member of the Pack 457 Committee will be at the meeting to help you out.
