Welcome to Cub Scout Pack 976 - Vienna, Virginia



Citizenship. Character. Personal Fitness. Leadership. STEM.


Please sign up your child for Cub Scouts!  Pack 976, which is chartered by Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish (OLGC), is inviting boys and girls in kindergarten through 5th grade to join the Cub Scouts.


When you join Cub Scouting, you're signing them up for much more than an after-school activity. Whether it's camping or catching a fish for the first time, your child will take part in activities that are fun, but that also build character, citizenship, and personal fitness, and start them on a path to success. To learn more about Scouting visit BEASCOUT.ORG.

Pack 976 welcomes all children regardless of race, ethnicity, religion or creed. Thank you for your interest in Scouting!


Please contact us with any questions at cubmasterpack976@gmail.com.


All new and returning scouts must register and sign up with our Pack. Please find registration details below.

Our adult volunteers help the Pack as Den Leaders, Assistant Den Leaders, Pack Committee Members, and as extra hands at all of our activities. We encourage you to join us to help shape your child's journey through Scouting.

We have Dens for all grade levels: Kindergarten (Lions), 1st Grade (Tigers), 2nd Grade (Wolves), 3rd Grade (Bears), 4th Grade (Webelos), and 5th Grade (Arrow of Light).
