Welcome to the wonderful world of Boy Scouts. At Troop 93, we believe in the core values of Scouting. We are building the leaders of tomorrow by emphasizing leadership and character in all of our programs. We make vigorous of the BSA Patrol Method, which emphasizes boy leadership and personal responsibility.
Our troop program is planned and executed by the Scouts themselves, based on their interests and the needs of the troop. The advancement program is supported by troop activities, but the pace of an individual Scout's advancement is dependent, to a great degree, on his own initiative. The outdoor program offers something for everyone, from events designed for first year Scouts to a full High Adventure program for our older and higher ranking Scouts.
Leadership skills are developed through the use of the Patrol Method and the Patrol Leaders Council (monthly planning meeting incorporating the patrol leaders with adult guidance).
Self-discipline and self-sufficiency of the young men is developed through monthly camping opportunities. Individual accomplishment is met through advancement within the Boy Scout program.
Troop 93 is guided using the "two deep" leadership method by registered and trained adult leaders at all times during each meeting and function. All adult leaders are required to have current Youth Protection certification. New leaders and committee members are always welcome. Parental involvement is a very important ingredient to maintaining our strong troop.
Trail to First Class
Troop 93's Trail to First Class (TFC) program is designed to provide guidance and direction to our first year Scouts until they have achieved the rank of First Class. The TFC program Assistant Scoutmaster along with other Scout Leaders will work to ensure that these Scouts perform the necessary requirements to achieve each of the following ranks: Tenderfoot, Second Class and First Class. Skills for these requirements will be taught during classes at regular troop meetings, campouts, summer camp, service projects and other events. The goal of this program is to enable each TFC Scout to reach the rank of First Class within one year after their join date.
High Adventure
Troop 93 has a very active high adventure program. Our program is designed to reach new and exciting experiences each year. The program includes long-term backpacking trips, snow camping, canoe and whitewater rafting outings. The emphasis of the troop program is to develop character mirroring the Boy Scout Oath and Boy Scout Law.
