Troop 24 will be meeting at the AMF Forest Lanes, located at 7700 47th St in Lyons instead of RPC for our January 19 meeting. The troop has made a group reservation so all of our scouts will be bowling together. The cost is $13 per person which includes two games and shoe rental.

Scouts should come directly to the bowling alley for this meeting. Plan on a 6:45 check in so you have time to pick out a bowling ball (unless you have one) and rent shoes. As this is a normally-scheduled troop meeting, scouts should come in their class A uniform.

Plan on picking up your scout by 8:30pm. Parents are welcome to participate in this event. Parents and adults must register online and pay if you intend to bowl.

Scouts & Adults: Sign up here
