Troop 99 In the Community
Troop 99 is very active in the local communities. Service projects in the last year have included park cleanups, horse event support, supporting the Main Street Program projects, and Scouting for Food. Scouts that earn the Citizenship in the Community merit badge learn about community history, culture, government, services, etc. The Troop puts an emphasis on preparing the future leaders of our communities.

Troop 99's Eagle projects over the years have made a lasting impact on the community as well as on the individual scouts.

Troop 99 works with the local Cub Packs to provide a path for the Cubs to continue their scouting life as they cross over to Boy Scouts. Pack visits to our Troop meetings and activities are always welcome.

Troop Newsletter
The Troop publishes a web-based monthly newsletter called the Compass which keeps scouts and parents up to date on the latest Troop activities.

History of Troop 99
While visiting London, William Boyce learned about Baden Powell's Boy Scout movement in England. He returned to this country and began what has become a world wide youth program. The Boy Scouts of America was still in its infancy, when a local group formed a committee calling itself "The Goffstown Concerned Citizens". The Concerned Citizens recognized the excellent values involved with Boy Scouts and chartered the Goffstown Boy Scout Troop 99 in 1916. Troop 99 is one of the oldest troops in the country and nearly 100 years later is still actively promoting the original scouting ideals.

Troop 99 has many scouts working toward the rank of Eagle Scout. The Troop 99 Eagles' Nest acknowledges the achievements of the Troop 99 scouts who have reached the rank of Eagle in the past, and we hope that it also serves as an inspiration and resource for those who aspire to the rank of Eagle Scout.

Many individuals in our community have stepped forward to lead our Scouts on their path to adulthood. Among these individuals, the men who fill the role of Scout Master are particularly dedicated and hardworking leaders. Troop 99 has been honored over the years with a fantastic sequence of Scout Masters.

Troop 99 is interested in obtaining information, pictures, and other memorabilia relating to the Troop's early years. We are also assembling a list of past ScoutMasters and a summary of past Eagle projects. If you have such knowledge or materials that you would be willing to share with us, please contact .
