Our troop is in the Nishnabec District of Calumet Council, BSA. We have been sponsored by the St. Christopher Holy Name Society since 1953. We hold our troop meetings in the St. Christopher School Gymnasium every Thursday night from 7:00-9:00 p.m. St. Christopher Catholic Church is located at 147th Street and Keeler Avenue in Midlothian, IL. If your son is between the ages of 11 and 17 and are interested in joining Boy Scouts, please feel free to come to one of our meetings. If your son is too young to join Boy Scouts, he is welcome to join Cub Scouts in Pack 358. For more information about the pack, please click here. If your questions are not answered by our website, feel free to contact Tom Hoogland at the Calumet Council Service Center. Tom is the District Director for Nishnabec District. |
