Join us for the Wood Badge Breakfast if you are:

It is time for the 2025 Friends of Scouting Campaign.

Historically, our Northeast Illinois Council spends at least $500 per every youth member per year.   The majority of this money has to come from annual fundraising. FOS is a key part of that fundraising.  For 2025, NEIC again is asking for a $350 FOS donation per Scout.  I know each of us have different financial situations to consider, but Our Troop has a goal to raise $4,000 (less than past year’s, a reflection of our registered numbers being down a bit).   

You can now pay Order of the Arrow (OA) dues for 2025. Regular dues for 2025 will remain the same as it has since 2022 at $25 per member. For 2025, sustaining dues fee will remain $65 that we have had since 2023. 

In addition to including the regular dues, sustaining dues also cover your event fees for all Lodge events other than the Winter Banquet.

This year we will, once again, be at Ma-ka-Ja-Wan Scout Reservation (MSR) during Week 3, which is from Sunday, July 6 to Saturday, July 12.

Like last year registration deadlines are MUCH EARLIER than years past... To get Early Bird Discount, you must provide payment to the Troop.  If purchasing a T-Shirt, please place size (adult sizes only) information in the notes section. If you do not want a T-shirt, please indicate “No Shirt”

This is open to all members of the Troop!
