Unlike the *finish command, which uses the *scene_list to tell which scene file to load up next, *goto_scene can jump to the beginning of any scene, even if it isn't listed in the *scene_list, as long as the scene .txt exists within your "scenes" folder.
You also never want to use *goto_scene to go back to startup, as that would cause ChoiceScript to re-run the *create commands at the beginning of the file, thereby resetting all of your stats to their default value.
