Alumni Events

 With the help and generosity of our volunteers and committee members, we had many attendees meet and greet several special guest speakers. We have also held events to thank our volunteers and Scouts to celebrate their accomplishments throughout the years.

Rainbow Council stands the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Events like these showcase real life application of Scout skills later in life. Our Scouts come from Will, Grundy and Kankakee county. Every day these scouts are learning to apply their skills to their personal lives and their communities. Events like the Eagle Scout Luncheon helps keep the Scouting Program local.

 In order to serve the youth of Will, Grundy, and Kankakee, we invite you to join us during these very special events. 

Special Visits to Rainbow Council

Roosevelt Visits Rainbow Council

In 2023, we held a very unique event. We had Roosevelt visits the Rainbow Council Event held at the Lincoln Cultural Center on February 18th! Clay Jenkinson brought Theodore Roosevelt to life in Kankakee, thanks to the efforts and coordination of many volunteers in Rainbow Council. This event was open to Scouts, veterans, friends and family. All who attended laughed and learned. Thank you to all who supported this event and to our sponsors!.

In 2019,  we had the honor of introducing our Scouting attendees to Aaron Linsdau. He spoke to our scouts, about perseverance, determination, strength and adventure. The Scouts were able to meet him, take photos and long-lasting memories of the event.
