Troop 773 was founded in 1958, is sponsored by Potomac United Methodist Church and chartered by The Bethesda-Chevy Chase Chapter of the IWLA. The troop has enjoyed serving our sponsoring church by providing church clean-ups, attending Scout Sunday, and more. Since the troop was chartered over 200 Scouts have achieved the rank of Eagle. Our Eagle projects have helped schools, churches, and charities.

Troop 773 camps each month or goes on an overnight adventure.  Every year we try to squeeze in backpacking, caving, biking, hiking, canoeing, rock climbing, wilderness survival camping, winter camping, outdoor cooking competitions, rafting, skiing, orienteering, community service projects, and our spaghetti dinner fundraiser.

Merit badges are awards earned by youth members of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA), based on activities within an area of study by completing a list of periodically updated requirements. The purpose of the merit badge program is to allow Scouts to examine subjects to determine if they would like to further pursue them as a career or a vocation.
