“All the wealth of earth and heaven…”

Troop 889 returned to our favorite campsite at Owasippe Scout Reservation. Five first time campers graduated from the Pathfinder program. We made new friends and had some fun. There was swimming and hikes, songs and campfires, cobbler and s’mores!

Scouting at St Alphonsus Chicago was established in 1922. The troop has been active in the Lakeview neighborhood for over 100 years. In this throwback post, we celebrate the scouts who served before us and share this photo of the first group to attend Owasippe summer camp in 1958.

Troop 889 is participating in the 2025 Scouting for Food service project.

This annual event is a scouting tradition and our group has joined with many others in Chicago and across the country to collect non perishable food from the community and deliver to local food pantries.

If you live in the neighborhood near St Alphonsus church, you may have received a hang tag or a visit from our youth members last night. We will be back next week Tuesday, April 29 to collect donations and will deliver to Nourishing Hope.

Thanks for your support.

Scouting for Food kicks off this weekend—Get ready to make an impact in your community!

On April 26, Scouts across Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana will be out in their neighborhoods distributing doorhangers for Scouting for Food. One week later, on May 3, they’ll return to collect donations of non-perishable, non-expired food items to support local pantries and families in need.

Not signed up this year? No problem!
You can still support the cause by texting “SCOUT4FOOD” to 41444 to make a donation.
