Thank you Mack & Stenar on helping clean up the Fox River on a sunny Saturday morning! We have in past years mostly worked the east riverbank. This year we worked the west as well and came across an old Model T wood spoked rim and some very old glass bottles. We plan to clean up and donate to the Geneva History Museum from Troop 36.

Troop 36 scouts & parents were apart of the 76-member group who volunteered this past Saturday morning to help clean-up the Fox River from Geneva to Batavia. A large steel pipe, a parking meter, a plastic swan, tires, signs, railroad debris, a dock section and even a smartphone were collected. Great job team! What a wonderful way to help our community and for our scouts to earn 3-service hours!  

Well done Troop 36 & 37 Scouts (Andrew Wendt, Jack Temple, Alex Chiovari, Stenar Lubben & Justin Wrobel) and Mr. Wrobel for attending the 2023 BSA National Jamboree! Nearly 15,000+ scouts and leaders gathered at Bechtel Summit Reserve in WV as scouts met, traded patches, attended evening events and completed many daytime activities. TFC sent four troops from our council who all rode down to WV in 15 large vans. Scouts arrived from all parts of the country to attend this special 11-day event. The National BSA Jamboree is only held every 4 years, so start planning now to attend the next!    

Congratulations to our Troop 36 scouts who completed their dive certification last fall and attended SEA BASE - Scuba Adventure! Two leaders and six scouts departed to the Florida Keys the last week of June and completed 5-days of diving over July 4th week, including a night dive. The crew added several fun outings from an Everglades airboat ride, touring the University of Miami and walking South Beach. The crew also drove south to Key West and visited the Southernmost point in the U.S., hiked Fort Zachary Taylor and boarded a Coast Guard Naval vessel. Well done scouts and what an adventure!                                   

The Philmont Cavalcade Crew boarded the Amtrak-Southwest Chief train in Naperville Saturday (July 23) on their way to Raton, NM. From there the crew will take a shuttle to Philmont Ranch. Good luck scouts & leaders on a fun and exciting week in New Mexico. We look forward to seeing pictures and hearing all about the challenges and adventures you pursue. Safe travels!
