COUNCIL
Tool Time Success
Thanks to all the dedicated volunteers who helped improve our wonderful facility at Camp Robert Drake. The hard-working grounds crews made camp look better, despite the soggy weather. And the pool is painted even though the clouds loomed all through the day. Special thanks to Lana and Pat for their fabulous lunch.

Paper or Plastic?
We all have to make decisions. Discover how those on the front line make critical life-saving decisions and explore how to make better decisions yourself. Come to Illinois Heartland Commissioner College in East Peoria on November 9 to take Critical Decision Making. You have to make decisions, why not be prepared to do the best job you can. Don’t miss this and many other great classes. All Scouters welcome! Schedule this event into your calendar now.
