Camp Drake clean up will be this Saturday, August 15 starting at 9AM. We will meet at the Dining Hall and assign jobs from there. Please bring chainsaws, trucks, trailers and brute strength as we have a large mess to clean up. We will have water, drinks, and lunch for everyone helping out.

We know so many of your donate your time, talents, and treasures to Prairielands Council Scouting and we appreciate your consideration of helping this Saturday!

Let us know if you would like to learn more about how to get your child involved in scouting!

Two years ago, Lily S. saved a friend at a small pool party. Fast forward to today, and the now-16-year-old is a lifeguard at a scout summer camp. She shared her life-saving story with a class she taught, and Scouting America wanted to honor her bravery with a medal.

Today we were honored to have one of our Den Chief’s, Jake Allison, from Homer Troop 42 Boy Scouts, lead the Pledge of Allegiance at the Danville National Cemetery Memorial Day service. Thanks to VA Illiana Health Care System for allowing us to participate alongside American Legion Post 210 Danville, IL and State Representative Brandun Schweizer. Thanks to Steve Brandy from VermilionCountyFirst.com for leading today’s events. Most of all, thank you to those who have and continue to serve our country.

We at Prairielands Council, we are proud to stand beside the families who serve our country every day. With the new Scouting America Military Family Fee Waiver, eligible youth in Active Duty, Reserve, and National Guard families can now have their national registration fee waived — helping make Scouting more accessible to military-connected families.

Scouting provides leadership, friendship, service, and stability for young people, and we are honored to support the military families who sacrifice so much for our communities and our nation.

Thank you to all who serve — and to the families who serve alongside you.

Look out for more in the future how we as Prairielands Council will try to include Military retirees and Veterans in this offer as well!

Scouting is about more than outdoor skills.

At Salt Fork Cub Scouts Pack 221, kids learn confidence, teamwork, responsibility, and leadership by teaching and leading one another. We believe you can’t lead others until you learn to lead yourself first.

We’re also looking for adults who want to make a difference. Cub Scouts gives adult volunteers the chance to grow as leaders right alongside the youth. No scouting experience needed.

Interested in joining as a scout or adult leader? Send us a message and come check out Pack 221.

The Wandering Scout is on the move!

Cub Scouts Pack 221 has officially released our first geocaching trackable into the wild!

If you find The Wandering Scout – Pack 221, here’s what to do:

✅ Log it on Geocaching.com
✅ Move it to another geocache
✅ Help it travel as far as possible
✅ Share photos and adventures along the way

If you’re new to geocaching, it’s a real-world treasure hunt using GPS coordinates and the Geocaching app to find hidden containers and trackable items.

Our Scouts have hidden several geocaches around town and now this trackable has started its journey too. We can’t wait to see where it travels.

Happy hunting and safe adventures!
