Investing in the Future

This year at the Park Ridge Wilderness Scouts and Princesses we are thrilled to announce a new tradition: the awarding of scholarships to a few of our outstanding scouts and princesses. These are young adults who had finished our program not-so-many years ago and are now about to embark upon the huge new adventure of college life. We are so proud that being a part of our Tribes and Nations has played a role in their growth over the years, and we wish them nothing but the best as they go off to conquer the future.

Congrats to Kate Wille, Luciano Binz, and Owen Tremblay!

Iroquois Fall Campout 2024

As we bade farewell to Summer and embraced the onset of Autumn, we returned to beloved Brookston, Indiana for the gathering of the Tribes at the Iroquois Fall Campout. Camp Tecumseh conspired with Mother Nature to provide us with the perfect environment for event, where many things took place.

The girls expressed their creativity…

…strove for greatness…

…and soared to new heights…

…whilst dads relived those glory days.

We also trained in proper pyrotechnics…

…dialed in proper aim…

and honed the craft of scaring people out of their wits…

and got to wag our tails.

Our leaders brought wisdom’s great light; the Tecumseh staff brought the boom-chicka night…

and we probed depths from which we could only hope to return.

It was a lovely campout and a solid start to the Iroquois 2024-2024 season. Thank you Camp Tecumseh!
