Volunteers and Donations are needed for Kyle E’s Eagle Project!
Please read the message from Kyle –
Hi, my name is Kyle and I am working on my Eagle Project. I am collecting non-perishable food for the Little Food Pantry at the Riverside Presbyterian Church. I am having a food drive on September 24, 12:00pm – 3:00pm.

When: September 24, 12pm-3pm

Where: Riverside Presbyterian Church Parking Lot off Scottswood Road

What: We need non-perishable foods such as canned meals, like Chef Boyardee, and canned fruit, canned vegetables, canned meats, granola bars, soup, etc.

Why: These donations will help stock The Little Food Pantry to help those in need in the Riverside community.

Also, I need scout volunteers to help with the food drive. A couple scouts will be getting the food from the people donating food, other scouts will be sorting the food to make sure there are no expired foods, and a couple scouts will be taking the sorted food into the church where the Little Food Pantry stores the donated food items.

Please sign up HERE to let me know if you can volunteer. I would be very grateful if you could volunteer and help with my Eagle project.

Thank you,

Kyle E

A Scout is reverent. He is faithful in his religious duties and respects the beliefs of others.
To encourage members to grow stronger in their faith, religious groups have developed the Religious Emblems Programs. The Boy Scouts of America has approved of these programs and allows the emblems to be worn on the official uniform. The various religious groups administer the programs which can be earned through self study or group classes.
Here is information on upcoming programs:
For Protestant Scouts, Duty To God BSA online classes begin in October. See Information Flyer HERE and Registration Link HERE. Scouts can purchase study guides and attend Sunday afternoon Zoom classes.
For Catholic Scouts, the Chicago Catholic Committee runs programs and classes.
Scouts who earn their Religious Emblem will be recognized at Scout Sunday, which will occur on February 4, 2024. Please let us know if you will be working on these programs, or if you need assistance finding programs for other religions by emailing committeechair@troop24riverside.com.
