All Scouts and their Parents are invited to First Annual Eagle Come Home Event! Please register for this event by using the Sign-up Genius Button in the flyer. This is to celebrate our newest Eagles and to welcome back troop alumni. It is an opportunity to reconnect with friends who share the scouting experience. We invite ALL of Troop 48 scouts and their parents along with local cub packs to see and hear what it takes to be an Eagle.

Our Troop's participation has been requested by the American Legion at a number of Memorial Day activities occurring this weekend. We need both Scouts and Adults to help, please. No training needed. The activities are shown below.

Lake Forest Troop 48 participates in the Illinois Department of Transportation Highway clean-up program. We are responsible for picking up trash on Waukegan Road from Old Mill Road to Half Day Road (Route 60).

On Thursday, May 20, at 7 pm, we will be having a special Troop Meeting event: the dedication of the newly built Flag Retirement Area.

This was Adam Tjarksen's recent Eagle Service Project, and he worked with the American Legion, City of Lake Forest, and the LF Fire & Police departments. Adam will be leading this troop meeting event, alongside other Scouts who worked on this project. City of Lake Forest Mayor George Pandaleon is planning to participate in the event, and other city officials, Cub Scouts, and media to also may be attending. As part of the dedication, American Legion personnel will be demonstrating a proper flag retirement ceremony.

To all who went on the campout this past weekend: I hope you had a fun time! Please plan on returning your clean tent at the meeting on Thursday. If you cannot return it on Thursday or have a question for me, please email me at: nickslover04@gmail.com

I'm organizing an Eagle Scout project to build a Cretan-style stone labyrinth at the Nicasa Round Lake, Illinois, location. Nicasa is a nationally recognized leader in comprehensive substance abuse prevention and treatment. This labyrinth will help struggling individuals in the healing process and greatly benefit Nicasa's clients.
