We are a Cub Scout Pack of about 20 boys in kindergarten through 5th grade. Cub Scouts do things, go places, and earn awards!
We have been meeting at Saint Jane Frances de Chantal Parish in Bethesda, MD since 1954, and most of our boys attend Ashburton Elementary School or St. Jane de Chantal Catholic School. Our Pack is open to any boy in grades K to 5 who can regularly attend meetings at St. Jane de Chantal Catholic School (9525 Old Georgetown Road, Bethesda, MD 20814).
During the school year our meetings are held on Wednesday evenings between 6 and 8pm, downstairs in the cafeteria at St. Jane de Chantal Catholic School. Park behind the church and walk up the hill towards the school, go past the awning and down the ramp around the corner to get to the cafeteria.
Returning members can pay their 2022-23 dues online!
New members can register with Pack 461 online!

We will take the Hard Cider trail to the Kingsley Schoolhouse where we will have lunch at the picnic area (kids can play there). This is an approximately 2.00 miles easy hike and will only occur if the weather is not rainy. You should bring your packed lunch and at least 1 L of water per person. Trail runners or similar footwear are recommended, light hiking boots are fine too. Scouts should wear their yellow “Class B” shirts rather than their uniforms.

Eleven miles of hiking trails meander through a variety of wildlife habitats and afford a view of the area’s geological history. Most of Greenbriar’s trails are classified as moderate to strenuous, you will need appropriate footwear (the trails can be very rocky), clothing and gear, including minimum 1L drinking water.
