To attain Scouting’s highest rank of Eagle, a young man must demonstrate caring for others and for
his community, as well as leadership skills, self-sufficiency and the ability to overcome obstacles. Local Eagle Scouts Reece O’Connor (left) and Jacob Klein (right) did so while earning every merit badge available during their Scouting tenure.

The Chicago Area Community serves Chicago and 20 suburbs. Over the past year, we provided many exciting programs to the diverse populations we serve: from summer camps and day camps, to a basketball clinic conducted by NBA players and a ski outing in Wisconsin. It is through the generosity of donors like you that we are able to provide every Scout with the chance to experience something new and potentially life changing.
Today, more than ever, our young people in the Chicago area need Scouting’s strong and positive programs. Please join us in investing in their future.
