The Scouts will be receiving recognition for advancing in rank and earning merit badges. It is important to the Scouts that members of their family are present to support them in Scouting.

- Night Hike and Trail Dinner – Friday, September 8 – North Branch Trail – Forest Preserves
Join us for something a little different. We will be hiking at night in the forest preserves and enjoying a trail dinner along the way. Parents are always welcome to join us. The permission slip is in the Resource Center.
Hikers will need to bring:
The Troop will supply dinner and eating utensils. We will meet at the St. Juliana Parish Center at 6:00 PM.
There is no charge for this outing, but we need to get an idea of how many are going to ensure we have the right amount of food. Please send me an email by Wednesday, September 6 at 6:00 pm if you are planning to go. No late sign-ups will be accepted.

The cost of the weekend is $25.00 per camper. The permission slip is posted in the Resource Center.
- Summer Camp 2024 Dates are Set
We are confirmed for a week at Camp Blackhawk (Go!) for Sunday, July 14-20, 2024.
