About Us
About Us
Scouts BSA Troop 99, Franklin, MA, was established in 2002 and is chartered by the Franklin Rod & Gun Club. Our troop is part of the Mayflower Council and Scouting America. We run a year-round program that emphasizes the values of Scouting and strives to develop self-confidence, self-reliance and leadership in our youth. We switched to being a Family Troop in 2026, meaning that we have boy girls and boys in the troop and are welcome to all.
Troop 99 is a Scout-run troop and operates by the patrol method. Scouts in the Patrol Leader's Council (PLC), with oversight from the Scoutmaster and Assistant Scoutmasters, plan and implement the troop's activities, including our weekly troop meetings and campouts. Scouts who are not on the PLC have opportunities to serve the troop in other leadership positions such as Troop Guide, Librarian, Historian, Scribe, Quartermaster, Chaplain's Aide and Instructor.
We participate in a mix of campouts, camporees (council led camp weekends), high adventure trips and activities. The troop holds an annual planning activity where the scouts get to plan and decide on the type of program they want to run each year. Troop 99 attends summer camp every year and goes to Camp Yawgoog in Rhode Island.
