I am still in need of 3-4 adults to sit on an Eagle Board of Review on Thursday, September 2 at 7:00 PM at the Riverside Presybyterian Church.  Current Eagle Scouts who are 18 are encouraged to volunteer.  Sitting on an Eagle Board is a very rewarding opportunity to be a part of a Scout’s final step to achieving the rank of Eagle. No experience is necessary.  If you have not sat on an Eagle Board previously I can provide you with resources to familiarize yourself with topics that are discussed at the Board.  Additionally, the Board is run by our Council Representative. The time committment is approximately 1-1 1/2 hrs. If the weather permits the board will be held outside or if indoors, masks will be required.

If you are available to help please RSVP by email me at dmgmitro@aol.com.

Thank you,

Good afternoon!

FYI, the first fall campout is two weeks away! It will be a good one; we are traveling to beautiful Devil’s Lake in Baraboo, Wisconsin on September 10-13, 2021. We will be camping at the Skillet Creek campground, on 70 acres, which is right next to Devil’s Lake State Park (see links below for more info).

Below are the signup links for Scouts, Leaders and Chaperones. We are looking for a few more adults, and this would be a great campout for those who haven’t already chaperoned (warm weather and scenic location).

The last day to sign up is the day before Labor Day, September 5.
