Scouting fosters the spirit of diversity and inclusiveness among its youth members and adult volunteers. Our values are reflected in homes, churches, schools, businesses and civic organizations in communities both large and small; urban, suburban, and rural.

Troop 93 is chartered by the Clarence United Methodist Church. The United Methodist Church has a non-discrimination clause in Church Law. Furthermore, Troop 93 does not bar anyone from participation based on sexual orientation, race, color, national origin, age or disability. If you require further information please contact us.

Boy Scouts of America Amends Adult Leadership Policy

News Release from the Boy Scouts of America on July 27th, 2015. The link to the original article can be found here at the Boy Scouts of America Newsroom

“On Monday, July 27, the National Executive Board ratified a resolution that removes the national restriction on openly gay adult leaders and employees. Of those present and voting, 79 percent voted in favor of the resolution. The resolution was recommended for ratification by the Executive Committee earlier this month. The resolution is effective immediately.

Chartered organizations will continue to select their adult leaders and religious chartered organizations may continue to use religious beliefs as criteria for selecting adult leaders, including matters of sexuality. This change allows Scouting’s members and parents to select local units, chartered to organizations with similar beliefs, that best meet the needs of their families. This change also respects the right of religious chartered organizations to choose adult volunteer leaders whose beliefs are consistent with their own.

Moving forward, we will continue to focus on reaching and serving youth, helping them grow into good, strong citizens. By focusing on the goals that unite us, we are able to accomplish incredible things for young people and the communities we serve.” (Boy Scouts of America Newsroom Blog)
