The Illowa Council invites all scouts, volunteers, and family to their Annual Pinewood Derby. Cub Scouts can enter their car from their Pack derby, or build a new one for this race! There will be awards for various categories!

MBU is the Spring hotspot for Scouts to get pumped up for the Summer to come! Scouts can earn a merit badge (or two if you take a combo class!) and Adult Volunteers will have the opportunity to get trained! Mark your calendar for this great event and we’ll see you there!

BALOO training will help ALL Cub Scout parents and leaders to ‘BE PREPARED’ for camping
adventures in the great outdoors with Cubs. This program is specific to meet the needs of introducing
Cub Scout Leaders to the world of overnight camping. The BSA requires that you have at least one
BALOO-trained adult on every Cub Scout den or pack overnight event regardless of whether it is a pack,
district or council event. This updated course provides BOTH the basic training as well as the Webelos
instruction and involves quality sessions to cover required material.

The Intro Outdoor Leader Skills (IOLS) course is an intensive overnight course with instruction and practice
in the outdoor skills that are important in Scouting. IOLS is the outdoor training required for Scoutmasters
and Assistant Scoutmasters to be position trained.

Come out to Loud Thunder Scout Reservation for a day of Shooting Sports! Participants will have the opportunity to choose from several Action Area Groups during both morning and afternoon sessions.
