EVENTS

Welcome to the Illowa Council!

We are proud to serve more than 2,600 youth who participate in Scouting in Bureau, Henry, Knox, McDonough, Mercer, Rock Island, Stark, and Warren counties in Illinois and Cedar, Clinton, Jackson, Muscatine, and Scott counties in Iowa. These 13 counties make up the Illowa Council!

Scouting has been shaping the youth of America for more than 100 years. Scouting does AMAZING things for youth.  Scouts try new things, serve others, boost self-confidence, make ethical choices, and explore the outdoors.  Besides being super-fun, Scouts say it helps them be more honest, teaches them to better work with others, guides them into becoming better team players and leaders, and provides life-long skills.  Prepared.  For Life.

🦅 Eagle Scouts Make a Difference Across Our Communities 🦅

Every Eagle Scout leaves a lasting mark on their community. Through their Eagle Scout Service Projects, these young leaders plan, organize, and lead efforts that improve parks, schools, churches, veterans’ memorials, nature areas, and so much more across Illowa Council's 13-county service area.

At the upcoming Community Impact Gala on April 26, 2026, we will recognize the incredible 2025 Eagle Scouts who have demonstrated leadership, service, and dedication to making our communities stronger.

These Scouts attend the event at no cost, but we’re asking community members and organizations to help sponsor their meal and recognition.

⭐ Sponsor an Eagle Scout for $60
✔️ Tax-deductible
✔️ Celebrates a young leader making a difference
✔️ Supports recognition of service across our region

Help us honor the Scouts who are already leaving a legacy of service in our communities.
