Each year the Northeast Illinois Council celebrates the efforts of scouts who earned their Eagle rank the prior year. On Thursday, May 9, NEIC will be celebrating the Class of 2023 Eagle Scouts. This is a banquet for the Eagle Scouts, their Families, Unit Leaders, and Friends. Eagle Scout recipients will be the guest of the council and attend for FREE. For more information and to register go to https://scoutingevent.com/129-2024EagleBanquet

Order of the Arrow (OA) members, it is time to renew your membership for 2024 by paying your dues. To be a current Lodge Member you need to pay your dues. In addition, you must be a currently registered member of the Northeast Illinois Council.

During the February 26 Troop meeting we will be conducting Order of the Arrow (OA) elections. The Order of the Arrow is the National Honor Society of the Boy Scouts of America. Youth members are elected by their fellow Scouts. To be eligible for induction, a Scout must have achieved the rank of First Class, spent at least 15 days and nights camping within the last two years (six of which at a resident camp), and gain the approval of their unit leader. For an election to occur at least 50% plus 1 of the registered youth in the unit must be present to vote in person. Please make every effort to attend the Troop meeting on Monday, February 26 at 7pm in the basement of Holy Cross Church. It would be a shame if we were unable to elect deserving Troop members into the Order because of a lack of attendance. Current OA members should wear their OA sashes.
