Read MoreWelcome to the Illowa Council!
We are proud to serve more than 2,600 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.

Illowa Council
Christian Leon, Saukenuk District Commissioner and a leader with Troop 428 in Aledo, recently shared something pretty special with the Council. His great aunt Bessie gave him her brother’s Boy Scout membership card from 1943.
What an incredible piece of Scouting history! Seeing something like this really reminds us how long Scouting has been shaping young people and building character in our communities.
Pretty cool to think that more than 80 years ago, a Scout carried this same card as a symbol of the same values we still teach today.
Christian said it best — he just wishes we still had membership cards like this today!
