Fails to demonstrate notability in any manner. -— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 23:13, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Individual scouting troops don't generally have notability outside of the parent organization. If the claim that this is one of the oldest troops in the nation can be verified, it may be worth a mention at Boy Scouts of America (and even then, probably only if it is the oldest one). Beyond that, the history section is rather inconsequential and might be anecdotal rather than based on the text reference provided. Ultimately, no WP:RS why this individual troop is notable as a standalone WP:ORG. --Kinu ^t/_c 23:56, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete-sounds like a great troop but not notable.--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 13:21, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Not notable enough for its own article with current sources. However, this article may be the result of the Northeast region not having its own article here as the other regions do: Boy_Scouts_of_America#Regions_and_areas. 173.8.11.157 (talk) 17:00, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Northeast Region (Boy Scouts of America); even then, the troop does not meet notability to include as a list in the region or council articles ---— Gadget850 (Ed) ^talk 17:49, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per all above. — Rlevse • Talk • 17:41, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Very few Troops or Groups are notable and this one does not get close. --Bduke (Discussion) 22:31, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
