Elijah O’s Eagle Project is collecting stuffed animals and washing them, then donating them to the Cicero Health Center for pediatric patients. He needs scout help in checking the collection boxes at various locations around town, and posting flyers at area businesses.

One scout volunteer is needed for each location, to check at least twice per week and pick up animals that have been left in the donation boxes. You would then drop off the animals to Elijah’s house. If you are able to help, select one of these locations:

Riverside Presbyterian Church
Riverside Township Hall
North Riverside Commons
Hauser Jr. High

If you are willing to put up flyers, you can do this at your convenience. You would just go to a business, church, or community building and ask permission to post a flyer.

Sign up for flyers

If a scout or parent can arrange another location for a collection box, please contact Elijah. (District 96 schools, with the exception of Hauser, were not willing to host collection boxes.)

Do you have stuffed animals that need a new home? Eagle Scout candidate Elijah Ourth is collecting stuffed animals to be donated to pediatric patients at the Cicero Health Center. New or gently used animals are needed, but they must be washable (no Beanie Babies, for instance). They can be any size. You can drop off your fuzzy friends at several locations:

Riverside Presbyterian Church – in the hallway near the office
Riverside Township Hall
North Riverside Commons
Hauser Jr. High

Thanks for your help in making medical procedures more “bearable” for the young patients at Cicero Health Center.

Congratulations to our newest Eagle Scout, William Gmitro!

Max H’s Eagle Project involves reorganizing the RBHS band library. He needs assistance from both scouts and adults. You can sign up for multiple days, starting on April 11 and continuing throughout the month.

New parents & scouts: all scouts need to earn service hours for advancement, and working on Eagle projects counts toward those hours.
