About Us
Welcome!

Boy Scout Troop 129 meets the first and second Tuesdays of each month at Franksville United Methodist Church, 10402 Northwestern Avenue in Franksville. We also have an outing or activity each month, which may be camping, biking, hiking, merit badge related, a service project, or a sporting event. In the summer, we attend a week-long summer camp, and have a High Adventure activity for our older boys. Parents are always welcome and encouraged to visit and get involved with the troop. We are part of the Lighthouse District within the Southeast Wisconsin Council, Boy Scouts of America.

Troop History

Troop 129 was originally chartered as Troop 29 by Frank’s Pure Foods on December 5, 1930. The Troop Committee consisted of H. Siefert, W. Place, Dr. F.J. Fritchen, W. Tamm, and W. Derby. Troop 29 originally consisted of Scoutmaster Orville R. Briscoe and 7 boys: George Tamm, William H. Tamm, Jack R. Metcalf, Ed Klopproth, Jacob Vogel, Art Vogel, and Charles Lloyd.

After a decade of operation, the troop went inactive during WWII. At the end of WWII, the troop reactivated and has been continuously chartered since 1947. Troop 129 was sponsored for many years by the Franksville Businessmen’s Association. We have had various meeting locations over the years, but have now been meeting at Franksville United Methodist Church since 2006, and the church has been our Chartering Organization since March 2008.
