Tri-State Nissan Hosts Boy Scout Troop 3 Winchester Visit

August 2017 | Winchester, Virginia: In August 2017, Tri-State Nissan had the privilege of welcoming local youth leaders for a memorable Boy Scout Troop 3 Winchester Visit. As part of the Boy Scouts of America, one of the nation’s most respected youth development organizations, these young men are committed to building character, leadership, and life skills. The visit provided an opportunity for scouts to step inside a real-world business environment and see firsthand how a dealership operates. More importantly, it created a space for learning, curiosity, and meaningful interaction.

Exploring Careers During the Boy Scout Troop 3 Winchester Visit

During the Boy Scout Troop 3 Winchester Visit, scouts toured multiple departments across the dealership. From the showroom to the service bays, each stop offered a new perspective on how the automotive industry works. They interacted with team members in sales, finance, service, administration, and detailing, gaining insight into the wide range of careers available. In addition, scouts were able to look under the hood, observe vehicles in service, and experience the hands-on side of automotive work. These moments helped connect what they learn in school with real-world applications. For many, it was an eye-opening experience that showed how different skills and interests can lead to exciting career paths.

About The Marlow Auto Group

Marlow Auto Group has proudly served the Northern Shenandoah Valley for over 75 years—but our story begins in 1947 with a decision that set us apart from the start. In the post-World War II era, when cars were scarce and buyers waited months for delivery, our founder, Guy Marlow, chose a different path. Rather than wait in line, he opened a dealership—not just to secure a car for his family, but to help others in the community do the same. That bold, people-first mindset remains at the heart of everything we do.

Over the decades, that one decision grew into a regional family of dealerships: Marlow Motor Company in Front Royal, Tri-State Nissan in Winchester, and Marlow Ford in Luray. As a locally owned and woman-operated business, we continue to grow by staying true to our five core values: Innovation, Integrity, Community, Relationships, and Exceeding Expectations. You’ll find those values in everything we do—from extended service hours that reduce downtime for local businesses to long-standing partnerships with local schools and nonprofits. Marlow Auto Group believes dealerships should do more than sell and service vehicles. They should solve problems, support their communities, and build trust that lasts. Because at Marlow, doing things differently isn’t just how we started. It’s how we lead.
