Welcome!
Troop 83 serves the Plainfield, Illinois and surrounding area. We are a new troop and were chartered on 5/13/2003. We are sponsored by St. John Lutheran Church of Joliet.

Surprise June Camping Trip
Where? When? Still working on it. For the Scouts unable to make the High Adventure trip to the Northern Tier. Keep checking the website.

Summer Camp - Frontier Camp, Pioneer Scout Reservation, Ohio-July
Ought to be a blast! Water cannon, paintball, iron forge, water blob and much more. Our first time there. You can still sign up but you won't get the $20 early bird discount. Remember the date 07/12 to 07/17.

Kankakee State Park - August
A first time location. We have never been at KKK State Park. Hiking, canoeing, biking, fishing, horseback riding. . . . activities yet to be planned. As always the main activity is "fun". Save this date 8/21 to 8/23.

ONGOING TROOP RECYCLING

Troop 83 has an ongoing recycling program. There is no selling involved and its a great way to raise money for troop equipment. We would like all our Scouts and parents to save aluminum cans. Crush them (rinse first if you can), put them in a bag and bring them with you to the next troop meeting. One of the leaders will collect them and "turn them into money".
