About Troop 117
Troop 117 is located in Plymouth Meeting, PA. Troop 117 roughly serves scouts from the Whitpain, Plymouth, Whitemarsh, and Conshohocken areas, in conjunction with other troops. Troop 117 meets on Thursday nights at 7:00 PM in the Grady Hall portion of the school of Epiphany Of Our Lord R.C. Church at the corner of Walton and Township Line Roads. Troop 117 is made up of 3 patrols and a varsity crew, consisting of about 40 scouts and 10 adults. Also, every year after Webelos II's cross over into Troop 117, a "Grasshoper" patrol is formed to create an environment for the new scouts to learn basic scout skills and teamwork before being funneled into the 3 permanent patrols. Below is a list of Troop leaders.
