Boy Scout Troop 119, of Baltimore Area Council, is chartered by Ark and Dove Presbyterian Church in Odenton, Maryland located on Piney Orchard Parkway. A relatively new troop, Troop 119 celebrated its 5th Anniversary in 2004. There are presently about a dozen active Scouts in Troop 119. We meet at the Church on most Thursday evenings from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.

Troop 119 has a year round program of outings and instruction. Every month there is an overnight campout planned, and we also have outings like rafting, go-karting, skiing, bicycling, and hiking. This rigorous outdoor program helps to keep all the scouts active and interested in scouting, plus provides the scouts with a opportunity for fun, new skills and advancement.

The troop is divided into three patrols of 6-10 scouts. The senior scouts, led by the Senior Patrol Leader, are the experienced, older and trained Scouts of the troop, and the patrols are led by a Patrol Leader and Assistant Patrol Leader. Together they plan and execute the troop's program.

At troop meetings, we practice our skills, have inter-patrol activities and games, work on advancement, and plan for the current month's campout and other activities. Once a month the Scoutmaster and the boy leaders have a meeting of the Patrol Leader's Council to plan for the upcoming activities. Troop 119 strives to be a scout-run troop, supported by several adult scouters' and parent participation.
