Read MoreWelcome to the Illowa Council!
We are proud to serve more than 1,800 youth who participate in Scouting in Bureau, Henry, Knox, McDonough, Mercer, Rock Island, Stark, and Warren counties in Illinois and Cedar, Clinton, Jackson, Muscatine, and Scott counties in Iowa. These 13 counties make up the Illowa Council!
Scouting has been shaping the youth of America for more than 100 years. Scouting does AMAZING things for youth. Scouts try new things, serve others, boost self-confidence, make ethical choices, and explore the outdoors. Besides being super-fun, Scouts say it helps them be more honest, teaches them to better work with others, guides them into becoming better team players and leaders, and provides life-long skills. Prepared. For Life.

Congratulations to Inali District's 2 newest Eagle Scouts! Collin A. and Isaak R. are both from Troop 4332 in Macomb, Illinois.
Collin A. turned in a total of 76.5 service hours for his project, which included a gaga ball pit and landscaping at St. Paul's. One of his Scouting highlights includes a trip to Philmont where he climbed Mount Baldy and reached the Tooth of Time. He's thankful to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, who are both Eagle Scouts.
Isaak R. completed a review and renovation of the Meadowbrook website for a total of 50 service hours. He recognizes that Scouting has been a major pillar in his life through learning new skills, providing better insight, and creating lasting memories. He enjoys bowling (he has a goal to overcome a score of 200 before he ends his time in league bowling – let's cheer him on!) and Math Team. He hopes to have a career in computer science or cybersecurity some day.
Please join Illowa Council in congratulating these two new Eagle Scouts!
