A local physician who works as a family practitioner for Guthrie in Canton, Pa. and is a Troy resident, has recently decided to step down as Scoutmaster after providing 20 years in this capacity for Troop #47 in Troy, Pa.
Sixty-one year old Dr. John Weis, who was born and raised in Emporium, Pa. and located to Troy, Pa. 31 years ago, has spent his life not only helping people through his work, but by cultivating leadership among young men in the community.
