Boy Scout Troop 173 held a Christmas Toy Drive

PARSIPPANY — Boy Scout Troop 173 of Parsippany reached out to the local community with a Christmas Toy drive for the Salvation Army.

Troop 173 teamed up with Cub Scout Pack 142, Cub Scout Pack 5 and the Parsippany Elks Club to collect 300+ new toys that were distributed to children of all ages in need during this Christmas season.

Community service is an important part of being a Scout; service projects allow Scouts to develop leadership skills, learn to work as a team and make a direct and positive impact on the community; this year they provided over 650 hours of community service including two food collections, school grounds cleanup, and a bicycle collection for undeveloped countries.

With over 50 Scouts ranging in age from 11 to 18, Troop 173 is a very active and fun filled troop.  They offer a wide range of activities, learning experiences and community service opportunities for all of our members.

They are a “Family Friendly” Troop that welcomes boys from Parsippany and other near by towns.  If you know of a community organization that might benefit from their help, or would like more information about Troop 173, please click here or email by clicking here.
