Troop 115 provides robust and active annual program opportunities that include a mix of indoor program with skills instruction at troop meetings, practical learning in outdoor excursions and activities, formal summer camp programs, trips to BSA high-adventure bases, service projects, and formal training events. The annual program is planned by the youth through the Patrol Leaders Council, with adult leader support and guidance.
