Introducing our newest officers

Erika Delp and Jonathan Crouse will be sharing the role of Illowa Council's VP of Administration.

Jonathan, who will be 16 in August, has been to Philmont with his troop, and he attended Jamboree with the Venturing Contingent. He likes scouting, but it isn’t his whole life. He also spends time making art; writing, drawing, and just making things. Also, Jonathan is a football player, wrestler, he also runs track and is joining a trap team.

Erika, who will be turning 18 in August, has also been to National Jamboree as a Venturer. She is currently the President of Crew 119, and in her free time, she makes cupcakes, art, and plays soccer. Some people would say that her cupcakes are art, and I would agree.

So this is the design for our new t-shirt. We are making these to promote Venturing in Illowa Council. It will be somewhere below $12 depending on how many we make.

So the question is.....
Would you buy one?

If you are interested please email Ina Pearsall at icgp@prodigy.net. This number is very important to us so we know how many we're looking at ordering.

See below for the shirt style.
