AMERICAN LEGION supports the BOYS SCOUTS of AMERICA

Cub Scout Pack 1760

The American Legion, Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Post 295 proudly sponsors Cub Scout Pack 1760 meeting at Diamond Elementary in Gaithersburg.

All over the world, American Legion posts sponsor more than 2,500 Scouting units. This is natural for Legionnaires, who bring their service-learned skills and experiences as veterans to help build character and positive traits in our country’s youth. Few other post activities generate more goodwill from the community.

The Legion annually honors the Eagle Scout of the Year at the national convention. The winner of the competition receives a $10,000 scholarship, and the three runners-up are each awarded $2,500 scholarships.
