Pack 1280 is located in Potomac, Maryland, a suburb of Washington, D.C. We welcome any K-5 children in the area. Currently, the pack has scouts from Cold Spring ES, Ritchie Park ES, Saint Raphael School, Stone Mill ES, and more! We “do our best” to be a pack kids and parents are proud to be a part of! Our pack calendar is full of adventure, from hiking and camping in the great outdoors, to STEAM activities and racing in our annual Pinewood Derby. We also undertake a number of service projects each year and contribute to our community. We look forward to a great year of learning and fun!

Memorial Day Parade
Start thinking if you/your scout plans to attend the televised memorial day parade in the morning of May 26th for the City of Rockville. Only those in Class A Uniform shirts will be allowed to be a part of the Parade. Lion T shirts count as class A uniforms. Please wear navy shorts/pants with your Class A shirt. This is a great opportunity for a few new adults to take on roles within the Pack, become Leaders (for free) and march in the Parade with your Scout!

Blue and Gold Ceremony
Our Blue and Gold/Promotion Ceremony is May 31 @ 5:30PM. We will meet in the St. Raphael Trumpet Room (gym). Bring a dish for the potluck! Start to think if you are willing to donate your neckerchief to the Pack so that everyone could get a new neckerchief for their new Rank and we can recycle and be green.
Please sign up for the potluck HERE.

Tree Trekkers
(March 2025)
Our first time at Tree Trekkers was a ton of fun! Scouts completed ropes courses and zip lines for an exciting afternoon. The weather was too cold to camp, but we had a delicious dinner and awesome campfire program. We also celebrated a scout's birthday!
