Our Troop
Boy Scout Troop 99 is a Scout-led program with guidance from trained adult leaders. Our Troop provides opportunities for Scouts to build leadership skills, develop character, and learn citizenship, confidence and responsibility. Scouts of Troop 99 build life skills using the Boy Scout Oath and Law.
Scouts are involved in camping, leadership training, community service and other fun activities to learn skills that will benefit them their entire lives.
Troop Dues and Fees - Dues will be paid in November each year, and activity fees are payable at the time of the activity registration. National and Council dues are also payable annually.

Troop History
Soon after St Vincent DePaul church was built, Troop 99 was formed in 1995 by Cole Johnson and Steve Heck.
The troop started with only two scouts, Steve Heck's and Jimmy McDonald's sons.
Cole Johnson became the first scoutmaster of the troop, helping with skills and going to Troop 99’s first campout up at Little Sioux.
When the troop started getting bigger they raised money by selling Beanie Babies to purchase a troop trailer in 1996.
The adult leaders made all the patrol boxes that we all use today for camping.
They recruited more scouts from St. Andrews United Methodist church in 1997 to grow the troop to 17 scouts
The first summer camp that troop 99 went to, they combined with troop 91 to get a total of 24 scouts at camp in the summer of 1996.
In 2001 the troop went to its first National Jamboree with 36 scouts and four adults.
Currently, our Troop has 38 active Scouts and numerous supportive adult leaders and volunteers.
Our Troop has produced dozens of Eagle Scouts.
Our Troop donates hundreds of hours of service to our community each year.
