Troop 763 Scouts

Aspen Hill, Maryland

WHO WE ARE

Scout Troop 763B (boys) and Troop 763G (girls) are a diverse, inclusive and welcoming group, located in Aspen Hill, Maryland. We have fun while teaching practical skills that aren’t taught in schools. We understand that many families are not experienced in outdoor skills but can come learn them together at 763.

Our membership is not limited to Aspen Hill as we service students from all over Montgomery County. We welcome ALL kids ages 11 through 17 to join our troop.

Our troop is in the White Oak District of the National Capital Area Council (NCAC) of Scouting America.

We are sponsored by the Strathmore-Bel Pre Civic Association, which is a small community organization that represents the neighborhoods along Bel Pre Rd, Layhill Rd and Hewitt Ave.
