Congratulations to the Newest Eagle Scouts of the Winnebago Council

Sun Rivers and Wabuha Districts to merge July 1. The Sun Rivers and Wabuha District leadership has decided to merge the two districts effective July 1st. There is a committee formed to make a recommendation on a new district name that will be presented for a vote at the May 8th Roundtable.

Our annual 24 hour golf tournament, “Birdies by Eagles”, and our regular golf tournament, “Timeless Values” Golf Tournament are coming up on May 21-22, 2014. Pledge for each birdie made or join in the fun at our regular tournament!

Come help plant trees and clean up trash and then have a little fun geocaching, kayaking & canoeing, and archery!

I am deeply saddened to report the unexpected passing of one of our dearest dedicated and most active Scouters. We learned that Steve Schwake passed away from a heart attack yesterday morning. Steve was actively serving as the Council Properties Committee Chairman. Steve was also active in OA and Sun Rivers District activities. He will be greatly missed.

Yes! Spring has finally sprung and that means it’s time for a little clean up! The Cedar Trails Partnership is once again sponsoring a trails cleanup from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Saturday April 26. This is a great opportunity to get out and enjoy the great outdoors and at the same time give back to the community.

A question that is frequently asked, but is a little more complex than you may have thought.

A weekend of excitement and adventure designed for all ages!!

Please join us in welcoming to the Council staff our new Ingawanis Adventure Base Caretaker Team, Hank and Kelsey Holtmeyer.
