Troop 16 was chartered on December 1, 1919 at St. John's Church in Canton and moved to St. Joseph's in 1924. In the spring of 2023, the charter was moved the Golden Lodge in Canton, although the Troop continues to meet at St. Joseph's. Troop 16 has seen over 210 of its scouts achieve the rank of Eagle Scout. Many of the troop's present leaders and committee men are themselves former scouts of the troop. Troop 16 meets every Tuesday evening from 7:30pm to 9:00pm in the St. Josephs Church hall.
