Tomorrow is Pancake Breakfast Set-up night!

Anyone unable to work the breakfast on Saturday is REQUIRED to attend Thursday night set-up.

Additionally, if anyone can spare some time tomorrow night, in addition to their Saturday duties, we would appreciate the extra help as “many hands make light work.”  Class B attire please.

Eagle Candidate Steven Sanduski is looking for volunteers to help with his Eagle Scout Project to be held on Saturday, March 7  from 1-5 pm and Saturday March 14th (if needed) from 10-3 pm.  The project involves tagging trees in Riverside’s Guthrie Park.  He is looking for Scouts 14 and older and Adults to form teams to drill and tag the trees.  Please up for one or more shifts.  Sign up here.

Steven is also looking to borrow cordless drills with batteries and chargers.  If you are able to loan a tool please contact Steven.

Steven will also be collecting monetary donations to supplement the grant he received to complete the project.  If you would like to contribute,  you can make a check out to “Troop 24” and include “For the Benefit of Sanduski Eagle Project” in the note and bring the check to a Troop meeting.

Here’s a great chance to do some rock climbing, finish rank advancements, and hang out with your fellow Scouts March 13-15. Registration closes on March 11, so sign up today!

This is the perfect trip for our new First Year Scouts to get a night of camping under their belt nearby at the Cook County Forest Preserve Campground in Tinley Park, IL. Not only will they get to hang out with other first years, they will receive personalized training from Troop 24’s Instructors, Guides, Asst. Patrol Leader, and Senior Patrol Leader. The cost for this campout is $35.00. First Year Scouts will leave RPC Saturday (3/14) at 8:30am and return to RPC Sunday (3/15) at 10:30am. First Year Scouts should register HERE.

Second Year Scouts and above will spend Friday night working on rank advancement requirements that can only be completed on a campout like acting as Patrol cook, starting a fire, setting up a stove, and more. The cost for this campout is $40.00. Second Year Scouts & above will leave RPC Friday 3/13 at 4:30pm and return to RPC Saturday 3/15 at 10:30am. Second year and above Scouts should register HERE.

Campouts like this would be impossible without our fearless leaders and parent chaperones! We still need drivers and parent chaperones so please sign up today.

When you sign up you can let us know how you would like to help. Whether you’re a driver only, a parent chaperone who camps overnight with the troop, or you’re a registered leader who can spend the whole weekend, we greatly appreciate your help!
