About Troop 4 

Scouting America Troop 4 Bethesda was founded in February 2019 as one of the first all-girl Scouting America troops in the country.  (In May 2024, The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) announced that it will rebrand to Scouting America, reflecting the organization’s ongoing commitment to welcome every youth and family in America to experience the benefits of Scouting)

​

During the school year, the troop meets Mondays at Concord-St. Andrews UMC (intersection of Goldsboro and River Roads in Bethesda, MD).  Scouts plan, organize, and lead these meetings along with monthly campouts and other outdoor activities. Scouts also make these meetings FUN with games and different scouting skills. 

Annual summer activities include a week-long camp at Goshen Scout Reservation for the entire troop and an additional high adventure activity chosen by our older scouts.  They may choose to attend a World Scout Jamboree and meet thousands of fellow Scouts from around the world.  On their Scouting journey, our girls can earn their way to becoming an Eagle Scout.

​

Our program is an exciting, fun, challenging platform for all of our scouts.  The setting encourages scouts to participate in making choices, lead, learn valuable life skills, and experience oudoor adventures in a safe, supervised environment.

​

As our girls enjoy their Scouting experience, their efforts align with the aims of Scouting, which are to experience and respect nature and the outdoors, and build youth into quality citizens and leaders by developing character, fostering citizenship, and promoting personal fitness.
