This year the Village of Bolingbrook will sponsor Pathways to Eagle XX
on the weekend of July 31st, August 1st and 2nd, 2009.
This is an annual event for the Boy Scouts in Bolingbrook and the surrounding
area to get together and work on Merit Badges.
Scout troops arrive on Friday evening and camp on the Village grounds
until Sunday morning. During the day on Saturday, the Boy Scouts will be able
to meet with merit badge counselors to demonstrate their knowledge of the
skills required to earn merit badge(s). To earn some of the merit badges
the Scouts are required to have completed all of the prerequisite items
listed for an individual badge. There are four merit badge sessions. Each
session is one hour and twenty minutes in length. Many badges can be completed in a single
session, but some will require two or more sessions.
The Cub Scouts of Bolingbrook and the surronding arrea also participate in this event. The Webelos
have an opportunity to work on two activity pins and learn the Boy Scout
joining requirements. There also is a "Cub Carnival" in the afternoon.
