Leaders

Strong leadership

With over 50 years of combined Scouting experience, Troop 273 is proud to have strong adult leadership.

Terry Rieck, Founding Scoutmaster

Terry is the founder of Troop 273, is an Eagle Scout, and has been awarded the highest Council award available to adult leaders: the Silver Beaver. His other awards are the Scouter’s Key, Scouter’s Training, Award, and Scoutmaster’s Award of Merit. After more than 50 years as Scoutmaster, he turned over the reigns to an alumnus of the Troop, Adam Pedersen.

Adam is a graduate of Troop 273 and earned his Eagle Rank. He has been involved with the troop since his brothers joined in 2002. He loves camping and has arranged camping not only for the troop, but for a youth group at church. He is a senior at St. John Fisher College studying American History with plans to become a youth counselor. He interns at First Presbyterian Church and is an invaluable assistant to the pastors of the church as well as the Christian Education director.
