Scouting came to Boonton with the chartering of Troop 1 on September 9, 1910. The same year that Robert Baden-Powell brought Scouting to the United States.  Francis E. Norris was the first Scoutmaster of  Boonton Troop 1.  The Troop has been in continuous service ever since.

Boonton Troop 1 will celebrate 100 years of service to the community on September 10, 2010, and will celebrate the event on Labor Day weekend of that year. We would like to hear from alumni Scouts and leaders. Please click here to contact us.

The Boonton scouts has sponsored two other Troops during various times.  Troop 2 was formed in the 1920’s, but became inactive, then became active again in the late 30’s and early 40’s before merging into Troop 1.  Most recently active from 1951-1992.

Troop 3 was formed in the 40's and lasted 15-20 years before disbanding. The Troop restarted in 1956 at St.Cyril’s Church.

Troop 71 was Active in the 40’s and the early 1950’s at our Lady of Mount Carmel Church.
