Founding
The history of Troop 93 extends back to 1993 when it was first chartered at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Clarence NY. Tom Keller was the first scoutmaster who was succeeded by Dave Wind in 2008 who has served as the current scoutmaster since. In October 2017 the troop charter was moved to Clarence United Methodist Church in Clarence, NY.
Charter Organization
The Troop is currently charted by the Clarence United Methodist Church located at 10205 Greiner Road in Clarence, NY.
Camping Locations
Troop 93 has always made sure to incorporate as much of the outdoors in following with boy scouts founder Baden Powell who believed “A week of camp life is worth six months of theoretical teaching in the meeting room.” We frequently travel to nearby scout reservations and camping locations in surrounding counties. In addition, the scouts have the opportunity to participate in high adventure trips to Philmont Scout Reservation, New Mexico, Northern Tier Located in Manitoba Rainy Lakes District near Lake Superior, Birchbark in Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario Canada. Furthermore, there is great enthusiasm and participation in the National Jamboree held every four years at The Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve in West Virginia; as well as The World Jamboree held at varying international locations.
Website
The troop website was created in August of 2008 with a primary focus on high adventure. The troop website today has expanded to its own domain and continues the primary role as an informational resource for volunteers and scouts about upcoming troop events, documentation of past campouts and repository of troop knowledge. The new website also includes a discussion forum for its members as well as event signups.
