What We Do

Troop 65 builds future leaders through weekly Monday meetings, monthly campouts, summer camp, and high-adventure experiences—teaching life skills, outdoor know-how, and leadership for success in our community and beyond!

Want to see how?  Come visit us on a Monday at 7:00 pm at the Scout Hut at Philadelphia Presbyterian Church!
If every boy in the United States could be placed under the wholesome influences of the Scout program and should live up to the Scout Oath and rules, we would hear fewer pessimistic words as to the future of our nation. Not only is it based on the fundamental rules of right thinking and acting, but it seems to embrace in its code almost every virtue needed in the personal and social life of mankind."
​
- President Calvin Coolidge

More about Troop 65

Troop 65 is a scout-led, patrol-based Troop dedicated to teaching the principles of Scouting with a strong focus on the Scout Law and Scout Oath. Our scouts grow and learn through merit badges, outdoor adventures, rank advancement, community service, summer camp and more. 

With over 50 Scouts, Troop 65 is supported by experienced adult Scouters - our "Old Fossil" patrol - and an active committee of parents and volunteers committed to guiding the next generation of leaders.
​
Troop 65 is affiliated with Cub Pack 65, also sponsored by Philadelphia Presbyterian Church.  Each year we welcome new AOL Scouts to the Troop from Pack 65 and work closely with the Pack to create a strong, successful Scouting program for all. 
Scouting enriches our community's youth while giving back through service and leadership. We are honored to share our mission and our story!
