Welcome to the Scouting family where we help enrich the lives of our youth and endeavor to make a positive impact in the kind of men and women they become. By becoming a parent of a Scout, you are setting your son or daughter out on the grand adventure of Scouting. This is a tremendously important and rewarding endeavor that you will be able to share with them. Troop 173 is dedicated to fulfilling the Mission of Scouts BSA by providing a safe and fun program of service to the community, leadership development, and outdoor adventure to its youth members, based on the values contained in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Using the Patrol Method of organization, the Troop is “scout run” with Adult Scouters serving as coaches and advisors. For more information please see our New Parent Guide or contact us.
