I am looking for 3-4 adults to sit on an Eagle Board of Review on Thursday May 23rd at 7:00 PM. Sitting on an Eagle Board it is a very rewarding opportunity to be a part of a Scout’s final step to achieving the rank of Eagle. No experience is necessary.  If you have not sat on an Eagle Board previously I can provide you with resources to familiarize yourself with topics that are discussed at the Board. Additionally, the Board is run by our Council Representative. We will meet at the Riverside Presbyterian Church in the Parlor. The time committment is approximately 1 to 1- 1/2 hours.

If you are interested please email me at dmgmitro@aol.com.

Thank you,

Dawn Gmitro
Troop 24 Eagle Committee

The Village of Riverside’s annual Memorial Day program will be held on Monday, May 27 at 10:00 am at St. Mary’s church. Troop 24 has been asked to help honor the U.S. Servicemen who have given the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our country. Scouts of Troop 24 will form the Color Guard as well as several other roles. The service will be held at the St. Mary’s Parish Center and scouts should arrive at 9:00 am for a brief rehearsal before the 10:00 am service. Scouts are required to be in full Class A uniform including neckerchief, slide, and scout pants. Families are encouraged to attend this moving ceremony to reflect on the true meaning of Memorial Day.

Scouts who plan to participate please sign up HERE.

A message from Robert M about his Eagle Project:

Last weekend we created two cages to protect the plants we are planting this Saturday May 18th. The work day will start at 10:00 am at the Wolfe Wildlife Refuge in Oak Lawn (W 109th St &, Laramie Ave, Oak Lawn). Rides will offered to anyone that needs them, we will pick up scouts around 9:00 am. During the workday we will plant the plants within the cages after weeding. The work day will conclude around 1:00 pm and scouts can get a ride back as well. Food and water will be provided. Scouts should wear long pants and shoes that can get dirty. If the scouts have any work gloves at home they should also bring those.
