We are Cub Scout Pack 656! We are chartered by the American Legion Post 177 and are part of the National Capital Area Council of Scouting America.
Cub Scouts is a year-round family program. Our Pack has exciting events with activities that are fun for kids and the entire family. Our Cubs learn about important life skills, personal safety, and environmental stewardship. They take part in fun outdoor activities, get involved in their community, and learn to be part of a team.
Pack 656 welcomes boys and girls from grades K-5. We meet at Fairhill Elementary School, but it is not a requirement that our scouts attend that school. We serve Scouts from Fairhill Elementary School, Mosaic Elementary School, Pine Spring Elementary School, and Bailey's Upper Elementary School, but we welcome everyone who wants to join.
Our Pack meetings are held the 2nd Wednesday of every month in the Fairhill Elementary School cafeteria at 6:30pm. Den Meetings are held two to three times a month, typically also on Wednesdays, as organized by the den.
You can also find us on Facebook.

The pack is organized into several dens. Due to the size of the pack and the nature of the requirements for each rank, we currently have one den for each rank. If dens grow too large, they will be split up, either to separate ranks, in the case of dens that currently combine two ranks, or splitting up a single rank.
Cubmaster: Mike Reese
Assistant Cubmaster: Jason Soules
There's much more organization of volunteer who manage running the pack, but they are not all listed here for simplicity.
