Willistown Troop 78 is one of the Boy Scout Troops of the Diamond Rock District which is part of the Chester County Council. The troop was first charted in 1930  making us 78 years old. Our sponsor is the Upper Main Line VFW Post 5203 of Paoli and Friends of Troop 78 INC. .

Presently there are over 70 active Scouts. The Troop is divided into six patrols of 10 to 12 Scouts. The Staff is the experienced, older Scouts of the Troop. Once a month Troop Leaders' Committee has a meeting to plan for the next month's activities. Troop Leaders' Committee consists of the patrol leaders, the staff, and the Scoutmaster.

As you can see Troop 78 is a Scout run troop. Which is also demonstrated by this website which was created and maintained by a scout. The Scouts plan and execute their own program. With the help of several Scouters and parent participation the Scouts are well supported. Troop 78 has a year round outings program. Every month there is an overnight outing planned and two long term outings a year. This rigorous outing program helps to keep all the Scouts active in the Troop, plus provides the Scouts with a opportunity for fun, new skills and advancement.
