Since 1951, Troop 485 has been helping young people grow through adventure, leadership, service, and a whole lot of fun. Chartered by Immanuel Episcopal Church in Glencoe, Maryland, we're proud to serve families throughout the Hereford area and northern Baltimore County.

​

Scouting isn't just about earning badges or learning to camp; it's about trying new things, stepping outside your comfort zone, making friends, and discovering you're capable of more than you ever thought. One weekend you might be hiking a trail, the next you're cooking over a campfire, volunteering in the community, learning first aid, or leading your patrol on a trip.

​

The troop is youth-led, Scouts aren't just participating, they're planning, leading, and learning by doing. They build confidence, learn responsibility, and develop leadership skills that will stick with them.​

​

Most importantly, Troop 485 is a place where kids can be kids. They get dirty, laugh around campfires, challenge themselves, make lifelong friends, and create memories they'll be talking about years from now.

​

Whether your child has been camping their whole life or has never slept in a tent, they're welcome here. Come visit a meeting, meet our Scouts and leaders, and see what Troop 485 is all about. We'd love to have you join us.
