Welcome to 

Troop 1997 

Ellicott City, MD

About Us

We are a youth-led Troop formed in 2004 and chartered by Gary Memorial United Methodist Church.  We meet there weekly on Wednesday from 7:30 to 9:00 PM.  Our Troop has an active membership of around 40 scouts distributed across all age ranges, from incoming first-year Scout ranks to well-seasoned Life and Eagle scouts.  In addition, we have an engaged adult membership, with a large number of in Troop merit badge counselors for a wide variety of badges.


Camping trips are planned about once a month with varying activity levels.   In past years we have enjoyed a wide variety of activities on those trips, including: bicycling through some of the local battlefields and along the C & O canal, rock climbing, caving, canoeing/kayaking, whitewater rafting, rifle/shotgun shooting, backpacking along the Appalacian Trail, skiing, and winter cabin camping.
