Donations and Volunteers Needed for Eagle project!
Hello Troop 24 families! I am collecting items for the Guardian Corps of America for my Eagle Scout Project. They are a public charity that focuses on helping the homeless and homeless veterans. I have several boxes at different locations including the North Riverside Town Hall, Riverside Foods, Riverside Town Hall, and my House, where items can be dropped off. You can also bring donations to tonight’s Troop meeting. Items I am collecting include; bars of soap, men’s socks (size 11-14), men’s underwear (size Lg, XL and XXL), and women’s socks (size 7-11). I am also collecting canned goods, however only those with easily removable lids. All socks and underwear must be new. The deadline for the collection will be May 8th.
I will also need scouts to help check boxes every 2x every week and bring items to my house. They will need to check the boxes on Tuesdays and Fridays. Each box will have bags to help with removal with another bag under to be pulled up. Additionally I will have a date to sort and pack all of the different items to drop off at Guardian Corps of America.
If you are interested in volunteering or have questions, please email me at: fedorski.kenny0@gmail.com. I will have a sort and pack workday Monday, May 9th at 6:30 pm.
Email Kenny if you can help.

Millbrook Horseback Riding Campout – May 20-22, 2022
The popular Millbrook Horseback Riding Campout is back, this year on May 20-22, 2022! We will be camping, riding, hiking, and relaxing in Newark, IL, about an hour from Chicago.
Scout Sign-up
Adult Chaperone and Leader Sign-up
There are two options – Scouts can choose to camp and participate in the trail ride only or choose to take the Horseback Merit badge class. NOTE… for younger scouts or scouts without experience with horses, we recommend choosing the trail-ride only option. The Horseback Merit badge test is difficult and we want everyone to have a great experience this weekend. There is a minimum requirement of five Scouts to sign up to get the merit badge in order to hold the class. We will refund the extra cost if we don’t meet the class minimum.
