Welcome to Troop 1717

Future Scouts, 

The "bridge" from WEBELOS to Boy Scouts is the beginning of an adventure. We are glad you are considering joining the Troop 1717 family. This guide provides a quick overview of our troop. Please feel free to contact us at anytime if you have questions. 

Troop 1717 is a boy-run Troop. The youth provide the leadership, teach outdoor skills, and develop the plan for our Scouting activities.

We meet on Monday evenings from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m. at the Hartwood Presbyterian Church located at 50 Hartwood Church Road. Visitors are welcome any time. 

We think our camping program is second to none! We camp almost every month and believe in variety in our camping program. We try not to go to the same campsite twice in a year and we explore new activities on our campouts: backpacking, skiing, fishing, and minimalist camping to name a few. 

If you'd like to learn more about our program please feel free to contact our Scoutmaster or Assistant Scoutmaster for our New Scout Program.  We will be happy to answer any questions you may have and would be happy to visit your WEBELOS Den meeting. 

In the Aquia District there are many opportunities to learn and grow through scouting. We strongly encourage you to find the troop that is right for you. The fun is only beginning!
