Troop 173

The impact of scouting is everlasting. It leaves a permanent imprint on the journey of life. Marian, sister of the late Dr. John Sidtis, shared John’s experience with scouting, both personal and professional, with Troop 173 on Friday, 6/18. Marian and Phillip Skabeikis are ardent supporters of scouting and troop 173. Their generosity has assisted the troop in many undertakings throughout the years.

The troop thank you for your continued assistance in memory of John, life scout.
