Celebrating 25+ Years of Scouting
April, 2005
The Goddard Boy Scout Troop was
first started in January 1949 as Troop 76 chartered to the
Goddard United Methodist Church under the leadership of
Scoutmaster P.L. Renner. One of the original scouts was Bobby
Means, former Mayor of Goddard and who today serves on the
Goddard City Council and is a well-known leader of the
community.
A young scout by the name of
Tony Perez joined the troop in 1950. Tony’s son David would
later join the troop in 1979 and David’s son is presently a
scout in the troop today.
In 1951 Boy Scout Troop 76 became
Troop 776.
No records for the troop exist
from 1955-1965.
In March of 1966, Boy Scout Troop
776 was re-chartered to the Goddard Lions Club. Records show
Pascual "Pete" Perez served as Scoutmaster over the troop from
1965-1967.
C.S. Brandt served as Scoutmaster
from 1967 to 1977 when the troop’s charter apparently lapsed in
1978 as there are no re-charter records on file.
In March, 1979 Dan Funke
restarted Troop 776 as Scoutmaster and today serves as the
Troop's Charter Organization Representative. Bob Maben signed
on as his Assistant Scoutmaster and continues in that role
today. The Troop consisted of 17 scouts. Two of those
scouts serve with the Troop today, Committee Member David Perez
and Scoutmaster Jeff Piper.
In 2003 and
2004, Troop 776 was recognized as the Quivira Council White
Buffalo District's Troop of the Year. Also in 2004,
the Troop's Scoutmaster Jeff Piper was recognized as the Quivira
Council White Buffalo District's Scoutmaster of the Year.
The
Troop earned the White Buffalo Districts' Advancement Chairman
Award of Merit for maintaining a level of scout advancement
above the national average in 2004 and 2005 and has also been
recognized each year as a Quality Unit since _____.
