The village, still called Skötzschen after 1651, was founded before 1564.

When the village came to Poland in 1945 as a result of the war with southern East Prussia , it was given the Polish name “Skocze”. Today the village is the seat of a Schulzenamt (Polish: Sołectwo) and part of the urban and rural municipality Gołdap in the Powiat Gołdapski . It was part of the Suwałki Voivodeship until 1998 , but is now part of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .
