Our Story

Safe, Fun, and Educational Programs for All

Based in Lockport, Illinois, we proudly serve youth and adult volunteers across three counties. Our history is deeply rooted in the traditions of Scouting, providing programs like Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing, and Exploring for young people aged 6-20. At our Rainbow Scout Reservation in Morris, IL, Scouts experience year-round camping, learning, and personal growth. We're dedicated to creating safe, inclusive environments where families and communities come together to prepare the next generation of leaders. Through character development, citizenship training, and a focus on physical, mental, and spiritual fitness, we uphold the values of the Scout Oath and Law, inspiring youth to become tomorrow's leaders.
