Welcome to the website of Boy Scout Troop 93. We are a very active Boy Scout Troop with approximately 40 boys in the Troop, divided into patrols for troop activites and events. If you are an 11-year-old boy (or fifth grade), or if you are a Cub Scout who is moving up to a Boy Scout Troop after earning your Arrow of Light, we invite you to join us. We plan our activities and our annual calendar well in advance so that you know about all of the upcoming events of our troop. Visit our photo gallery for pictures of our latest trips and activities. Please use this website as an additional resource for information about Troop 93 and our activities.
|
- Weekly Troop meetings are held on Monday nights at VFW Post #2718 on Lincoln Avenue in Franklin Square.
- The meetings begin at promptly at 7:30 pm and end at 8:45 pm. Boys are expected to be in full Class-A uniform at all troop meetings.
- Boys are asked to bring $1.00 weekly dues (even if they miss a meeting), and their Scout Handbook to each meeting.
- We ask that parents come into the VFW at the end of the meeting when picking up Scouts, so that we can make announcements, hand out paperwork and, more importantly, as a safety precaution.

Attention Parents:
- The official Boy Scout Class-A uniform includes the khaki tan shirt (with required patches sewn in place), olive green pants, troop neckerchief/BSA slide, and troop hat. Boys are expected to be in full uniform at all troop meetings, Courts of Honor, and designated activities.
- The Class-B uniform consists of Troop 93 T-shirt and olive green uniform pants, and is worn at certain troop activities, as directed.
For new boys joining Troop 93, the Mother’s Club provides a Troop hat and neckerchief. The only insignia that carries over to the Boy Scout tan uniform shirt from Cub Scouts is the Arrow of Light Award. You will just need new troop numerals, 9 & 3, for the left shoulder. (Still Theodore Roosevelt Council shoulder patch).
Before you go out to buy new uniform pants or shirts, check with one of us at a meeting. We have a uniform bank of outgrown pants, shorts and shirts that may fit your son.
