» Parents/Scouts

Please review the calendar of events for the next several months and discuss upcoming events with your Scout. I have heard Scouts say they need to check with their parents before they can commit to the event. Sign ups are at meetings and Scouts need to know if they can participate

Welcome !

Troop 85 serves Fox Lake IL and the surrounding communities. Through our active boys, active parents, and active leaders we maintain a fun, safe environment that teaches our young men the values and morals they need to become outstanding citizens in our community and nation.

Troop 85 meets at 7:00 PM every Tuesday at St. Bedes church, located at the intersection of Grand Ave. and Wilson Rd. in Ingleside. (map)

Vitrus Training

Leaders:
Any leader that enters St. Bede during scouts needs to be Virtus trained. This is a requirement of St. Bede. They have opened their buildings to the scouts for a place to meet. We need to comply with their request or we may have to look for another meeting location if we do not get compliance. The training is about three hours in the classroom and then once a month you need to log on to the site to read an article and answer a question to stay current.

Here are dates and locations for local Virtus training courses. Check at the website for details and registration: http://virtus.org/virtus/
