Tree Sale Setup 2024
The Dads of the Park Ridge Wilderness Scouts and Princesses were at work over the weekend setting up for our annual Tree Sale. We’re looking forward to another great year of raising funds for local charities.
It starts this Friday at 4:30pm – the day after Thanksgiving – come on out for a tree, a wreath, some garland, or a tree ornament.
Come support a great cause and a long standing tradition!
Pool Party 2024
Just as the jubilant month of July was adjourning in 2024, our Scouts and Princesses (and a few frivolous fathers) enjoyed some serious sliding, splashing, and snacks at the Centennial Aquatic Center.
Some struggled through the shoulder stressing cargo net and subsequently celebrated success…
…whilst others harvested their happiness in hoops and hobnobbing.
But let us not languish in the last little allowances of the Summer, but alternatively anticipate Autumn’s amusements in the advent of the 2024-2025 season!
The Tree Amigos
It may be summer, but our treemasters are already getting updates and improvements ready for the Christmas Tree Lot for 2024!
Memorial Day Parade 2023
On May 29th, the Park Ridge Wilderness Scouts and Princesses Federation marched in the city’s annual Memorial Day Parade, with our 3 Nations all taking part in the big event: the Algonquin and Iroquois (daughters and dads) and the Winnebago (sons and dads).
We paid our respects to all of those who have given everything for our country and for us.
Everyone had a great time – including some with 4 legs...
We are looking forward to the start of the new season right around the corner this Fall!
Food Drive 2022
Thank you for all those in the community that volunteered their time and made donations to the annual PRWSP Food Drive on October 15th and 16th.
Reflecting the generous nature of the surrounding community, the Food Drive this year was a resounding success, even with several other similar drives being held this month. With everyone’s helpful contributions, the PRWSP was able to make significant food and other donations this year to the Maine Township Food Pantry, the St. Paul of the Cross Food Pantry and the Elk Grove Township Food Pantry.
Thank you again for helping the PRWSP work towards a hunger-free community!
