Boy Scout Troop 101 weekly meeting

Welcome visitors and parents to Troop 101!  Boys from 6th grade to 18 years old are invited to consider Boy Scouts. Troop 101 is sponsored by the Our Lady of Peace Holy Name Society.   Gary Myk is our Scoutmaster.  Gary may be reached at (630) 240-2887 or gary-myk@comcast.net.

 

Parents are welcome to sit in on the Monday meetings.  Announcements of upcoming activities and recognition for past activities are typically done during the first half-hour of the meeting.

The Troop Meetings always end at 8:45 PM.  Parents, please be at the school on time to pick up your Scout - the leaders cannot go home until every Scout has been picked up.  Car pooling with one parent picking up multiple Scouts is OK.

Troop Camping and Other Outings - Troop 101 camps every month of the year.  A calendar of Troop campouts and other outings will be provided.  Scouts should attend as many campouts as possible.  There are advancement activities that we can only do on campouts, plus they are a lot of fun for the boys.  We understand that many boys are involved in sports and other activities - we ask that you use the calendar to plan ahead so they can go on the monthly outings. 

 

Every summer, the Troop attends a week-long summer camp.  This year, summer camp is scheduled from July 22-28 in Wisconsin at Camp Freeland Leslie located near Oxford, WI.  New Scouts are encouraged to attend Summer Camp.  We require that a Scout attend at least two weekend campouts before going to Summer Camp.

 

Parent Involvement - We are always looking for parents who want to get involved.  We cannot do it without you.  Ask the other parents who are already involved - it’s fun, it helps the Troop and it helps your son.  Become an Assistant Scoutmaster and join us on campouts, or work on one of our many committees.
