PARSIPPANY — Boy Scout Troop 173 has received the Fishawack Community Service Award on behalf of Patriot Path Council.
In 2017, Troop 173 worked 1,392 community service hours on over 12 projects. This is the highest number of service hours of any Troop in the District. These projects included Troop sponsored hurricane relief collection, toy drive, food drives, Eagle projects and individual community service time. The scouts dedication to helping others truly makes a difference to so many people and communities and their efforts are not going unnoticed. A patch will be awarded to each Scout and a ribbon for the Troops flag.
Troop 173 was chartered by the Sedgefield Civic Association in 1957. Yet from its beginning, Troop 173 has included boys from all over Morris County in its programs. While most of our members come from the area of Parsippany from Lake Parsippany to Powder Mill, we have had members as far away as Succasunna and Randolph.
