Our Charter Organization
We are chartered by the Cherokee Christian Children's Ranch (Triple C Ranch) in Coker Creek.  It is a Christian children's adoption community.   We meet at the Smoky Mountain Christian Camp (SMCC) behind the Coker Creek post office.  Our scouts come from the adoption ranch, neighboring churches & schools.

Where Are We?
Thank you for visiting the online home of Troop 116.  We are a brand new troop that launched in March 2008 to deliver the promise of the Scouting adventure. We meet weekly on Tuesday nights from 7:00 - 8:30 PM at the SMCC Dining Hall.

If you're interested in the outdoors and in learning more about leadership, we'd invite you to check us out.  Our outdoor program is top-notch, with plenty of new things to do and new friends to do it with.

Who Can Join?
Scouts.  Boy Scouting is available to boys who are at least 11 years old and have completed the fifth grade but not yet 18 years old.  Anyone is welcome to visit.   
The program achieves the BSA's objectives of developing character, citizenship, and personal fitness.

Adults.  No Scouting experience is necessary.   Do you love kids and the outdoors?  The Boy Scouts of America has excellent leadership training for both boys and adults.  We care about your boys and are committed to safety and trained leaders.  The BSA is America's largest trainer for gun & water safety, as well youth protection.  We have a clear training path for Troop Committee (support) or Assistant Scoutmaster (skill & leadership instruction).
