Troop 24 Families:

Please join us on SUNDAY NOVEMBER 14TH AT 1:00 PM for some holiday merriment at the Brookfield Zoo tree trim. With a mask, of course. Troop 24’s “community tree” is located along the walkways within the zoo. Our tree is number 449, located on the North Mall, near
The Carousel.
• We have 20 ZOO PASSES AND FIVE SOUTH LOT PARKING PASSES available for the event. We’ll arrange retrieval of the passes at a later date.
• If you have a Zoo membership, you can simply visit the zoo at 1:00 PM and join us.
• The sign in front of our tree will read:
o Decorated by: Riverside Scout Troop 24
o Donated by: Riverside Scout Troop 24
o Town: Riverside
• Layouts of the malls will be posted at the gate to help us find our tree within the zoo.
Ornaments
• Let’s be creative!
• Click here to review the Zoo’s Tree Trim ornament guidelines. The Zoo will remove tinsel, glass/breakable ornaments, and decorations made with food.
• Finally, if you would like to donate an ornament for the tree but can’t attend the event, a box will be placed in the Church front door alcove for your donation, sometime in November.
• Click here to register for this festive outdoor event!

We are taking advantage of this great fall weather with a trip to the Indiana Dunes from November 5-7.

Campfire Dinner this Sunday, October 10 @Waterfall Glen, Willowbrook

With Waterfall Glen being such a close campout, we have decided to  host campfire dinner for scout parents. If you are curious and would like to see what a scout campout is all about, are thinking of getting more involved but would like to know more first, or just want to stop by and say hello this one is for you. All scout parents are welcome; even if your scout is not attending this weekend’s campout.

Dinner will start around 6-6:30pm on SUNDAY night, October 10. Please email flassing@yahoo.com and let us know if you can make it.
