On my honor I will do my best
to do my duty to God and my country
and to obey the Scout Law;
to help other people at all times;
to keep myself physically strong,
mentally awake, and morally straight.

The Scout Law

All of scouting is designed to promote physical, mental, and spiritual excellence. Troop 769 lives this. Every one of our scouts is somebody important. He holds himself to these standards:

The Outdoor Code

As an American, I will do my best to –

Be clean in my outdoor manners
Be careful with fire
Be considerate in the outdoors, and
Be conservation minded.

Welcome to the website of Troop 769, Boy Scouts of America, Odenton, Maryland. We’re a “Youth Run” troop, employing the qualities and ideals found in the Scouts BSA program to build character, foster citizenship, develop leadership, commitment to community, and appreciation for the outdoors. The best definition of Scouting is found in the three points of the Scout Oath, symbolized by the three fingers of the scout sign. Each point of this oath defines one of the fundamental duties of a Scout: Duty To God, Duty To Other People, and Duty To Myself.
