Vale United Methodist Church is the chartering organization for Boy Scout Troop 1983 and Cub Scout Pack 1530. As the chartering organization, Vale UMC is responsible for approving adult leadership and providing the appropriate facilities for meetings and storage of equipment necessary to conduct a rigorous and safe scouting program. The scouting program at Vale UMC has been in continuous operation since 1983 and consistently earns the Quality Unit Award from the National Capital Area Council.

We are very proud of the more than 60 Scouts that have earned their Eagle rank with Troop 1983 and the many hundreds of Webelos who have earned their Arrow of Light as well as all the Scouts and Cub Scouts who have done or are doing their best to achieve these ranks. Vale UMC is a place where boys of all religious backgrounds are welcome to participate in the BSA program.
