How Old is Troop 90? The Boy Scouts of America was founded on February 8, 1910. Troop 90 is one of the BSA's oldest troops. Troop 90 traces its origin back to January 1918, when Scoutmaster Howard Curnow's Application for Commission as Scoutmaster was approved by the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
In
1918, the troop was
designated as Troop 1 of Pacific Grove, and was sponsored by the First United
Methodist Church of Pacific Grove. (Troop numbers are unique to each scouting district, so many troops have
been designated as "Troop 1".) The troop was inactive from 1924 to 1927, but was reorganized and
reregistered as Troop 90 in April 1927. The Rotary Club of Pacific Grove was the sponsoring organization and has
continued to do so. In
April 2004, Troop 90 will be 83 years old. Troop 90's motto, "The Oldest and the Boldest", reflects its
many years of service to youth.
