Boy Scout Troop 93 is a very active troop, with many activities, special events and regular meetings scheduled each month. Please refer to our troop calendar regularly for information about meetings, overnights, and community service projects.

Generally, weekly meetings are held on Monday nights at VFW Post #2798 on Lincoln Avenue in Franklin Square. The meetings begin at 7:30 pm and end at 8:45 pm.

Scouts are expected to be in full uniform at all meetings (especially for Board of Review) and to remember to bring $1.00 weekly dues (even if you miss a meeting)

Please Note:  We follow the Franklin Square school calendar.  If school is closed or if school has been cancelled due to inclement weather, then there will be no Troop meeting.

We make every effort to keep our calendar up-to-date and keep Scouts and their parents informed.  However, sometimes last-minute changes are necessary and we will attempt to contact you through phone-chain or e-mail to inform you as soon as possible.
