Scouting stands on values like "helpful" and Troop 175 of Joliet is giving back this Mother's Day weekend. Does your unit have any upcoming service projects planned? Please DM us photos and information or comment below!

We could not do what we do without the tremendous help of BOY SCOUT TROOP 175. Each year they volunteer their time to hand out water to our walk participants. They also help with clean up along the Walk Route. THANK YOU BOY SCOUT TROOP 175!! We appreciate you all SO MUCH!! See you on Mother’s Day!!
