Ready to visit?
The best way to get to know us is to visit a troop meeting. We meet every Tuesday at 7:00 PM.
How to Join
Visit a Meeting
Review the meeting location and regular meeting time. Meet the scouts and leaders, see how a meeting works, and bring your questions about the program.
Submit Registration
Ask troop leaders about eligibility, current registration requirements, fees, and the forms needed to join.
Begin the Journey
Work with the troop on next steps for uniforms, advancement, and preparing for an appropriate first outing.
Questions from new families
Getting started should feel manageable. These answers explain the program and help you prepare for a conversation with our troop leaders.
What should we expect from a first visit?
A visit is a chance to see the troop in action, meet scouts and adults, and decide what questions to ask. Review the meeting information on our Visit page. Share whether your scout is new to scouting, moving from a Cub Scout pack, or transferring from another troop.
Useful questions include how patrols work, what the first few outings involve, and what a new scout should do next. You do not need to arrive with everything already figured out.
What if my scout has never camped or backpacked?
Troop 93's outdoor program includes experiences designed for first-year scouts, alongside more challenging trips for experienced scouts. Let leaders know about your scout's experience so you can discuss a suitable starting point and the skills to practice before an outing.
Begin with our outdoor essentials guide to get familiar with basic preparation.
What gear and uniform do we need?
Talk with troop leaders before buying equipment. A day hike, a campout, and a backpacking trip can call for different preparation, and a general list is only a starting point.
Our camping packing list covers clothing, personal items, and camping equipment. Ask which items apply to your scout's first outing and what uniform items are needed to get started.
What does it cost, and how much time is involved?
Ask leaders for the current registration and troop fees, what those fees cover, and which activities have separate costs. It is also helpful to discuss uniforms, equipment, summer camp, and how fundraising fits into the troop program.
Talk through your family's school, sports, and other commitments. Leaders can explain how regular meetings and outdoor opportunities fit together and what to expect as a new member.
How do rank advancement and merit badges fit in?
Advancement is supported by troop activities, with each scout taking responsibility for their own progress. Outdoor skills, service, leadership, and exploring interests all contribute to the scouting experience.
Read our advancement guide for an introduction, then ask leaders how a new scout begins recording and working on requirements.
How can parents and caregivers help?
Family involvement helps sustain the troop. Adult leadership and committee roles support the program while scouts practice leading their own patrols and activities.
Tell troop leaders about your interests, skills, and availability. Ask about current needs and any registration or training needed for a role.
Where do member families find activity details?
This public website shares examples of troop activities. Member families should use the troop's member communications and Troop Web Host for schedules, sign-ups, and outing details. Ask leaders how to get the access you need when you join.
