If you could give only one gift to the young people who are most important in your life, what would it be? No matter what your family situation is, it is within your power to help these children grow into people with a good feeling about themselves and a genuine concern for others. Cub Scouting can assist you in providing this greatest gift of all.
Cub Scout-age children benefit developmentally from belonging to a small group of peers. Your child will be a part of a den, a small group of Cub Scouts in the same grade level and who are of the same gender. Through this sense of belonging, children build self-esteem and learn to get along with others.
As a parent, you want to be assured that the groups that your child joins will teach values consistent with good citizenship, character development, personal fitness, and leadership. The values we seek to instill are found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. We know that kids do not join Cub Scouting for character building. Kids join because it is fun. Your child will learn great lessons, but they will be far too busy having fun to notice

Follow these easy steps to get started
Contact us to let us know you're interested!
Email Cubmaster, Brad Amron (Cubmaster@Pack1753.org)
We will put you in touch with your Den Leader.
Pack 1753 is a “waist-up” unit, so you only need a uniform, shirt, a hat, neckerchief/slide, and belt (awards go onto the belt so a necessity). You also need a Handbook.
This will all run ~$120. You may go to the National Capital Scout Shop 9190 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD 20814 OR order online at https://www.scoutshop.org/cub-scout-collection
We recommend going to the store. The folks in the store can assist you in selecting the right uniform, patches, and accoutrements for your Scout.
Pro tip: buy your shirt in a larger size so your child can use it for several years
Enjoy the adventure!
