The Forest Preserves of Cook County and our Scout Council are offering a merit badge program at the Little Red Schoolhouse in Willow Springs. Dates have now been finalized for the program. Scouts can earn Environmental Science, Soil and Water Conservation and Citizenship in the World merit badges. See the World Conservation Award Program Flyer for more information.
One adult from our troop must attend if any of our scouts participate. Let us know if you plan to attend – you can email committeechair@troop24riverside.com. Be aware that some dates conflict with planned Troop 24 campouts! This Friday is the last day to register.

A message from one of Troop 24’s Eagle Candidates:
Hello, my name is Ryan E, I’m working on my eagle project.
I would like to bring to your kind attention that I am working on the Riverside lamp posts. We need to scrape, prime, and paint the lamp posts on the other side of 1st Avenue, the RB side.
The date of this project this week is Tuesday, September 13 from 4:30 to 6:30 PM, and Saturday, September 17 from 12:00 to 2:00 PM.

For Tuesday, meet up at 192 Waubansee Street, Riverside at 4:30 PM.

For Saturday, meet up at 161 Ridgewood Road, Riverside at 12:00 PM.

Please email enochsalice@yahoo.com to let me know that you can volunteer. I would be very grateful if you could volunteer and participate in this project.

Thank you,
Ryan E
