TODAY is the deadline to sign up for the climbing & shooting camp out April 28-30.  Click here to register your scout or here if you can participate as an adult leader or chaperone..

For our May camping trip, Troop 24 is heading out to Illini State Park which is located on a beautiful stretch of the Illinois River in Marseilles, Illinois which is an easy 70 to 80 minute drive from the Riverside area.  From our base of operations, we are going to hike at the nearby Starved Rock State Park, which is known as one of the most interesting geological areas of Illinois.  We are also planning a visit to the Ottawa Scouting Museum, which is the final resting place of W.D. Boyce, who is a founder of the Boy Scouts of America.  This outing will be a great opportunity for new scouts to work on rank advancement and all scouts to complete requirements for the Scouting Heritage Merit Badge.

Our plan is to leave Riverside on Friday afternoon, May 12 and return to Riverside early on Sunday, May 14 so scouts can be back in time for Mother’s Day activities.  The cost for this trip is $58 per scout, which includes all meals.

Registration will end on Wednesday, May 3.  Remember that new scouts who are planning on going to Camp Tesomas this summer must participate in at least one weekend camp-out before Tesomas.

Email Jim Jerz if you have any questions about this trip.
