Immanuel Lutheran will hold registration for its Trail Life USA scouting troop on Monday, March 14 from 6:00 - 7:30 p.m. Trail Life is open to the community and boys do not need to be a member of Immanuel, or any church, to join.

"We would like to invite all interested boys (ages 5 - 18 ) and parents to join us on Monday, March 14th from 6:00 - 7:30. They can get to know the troop leaders, learn more about Trail Life, officially register with Troop IL0412 and obtain more details about our first meetings and events with the boys. And if parents have any questions, they can always contact me," said Trephina Bedell, Troop Committee Chairperson.

The troop will be meeting bi-weekly on Monday nights, as will Immanuel's American Heritage Girls Troop, a sister program to Trail Life. "We wanted to make it convenient for families with multiple children interested in scouting," said Bedell.

Trail Life USA is a Christian Outdoor Adventure, Character and Leadership Program for boys and young men and Immanuel is honored to support and back a troop based right here in the heart of Palatine. Trail Life USA serves boys and young men from kindergarten through 25 years old from anywhere in the community.

Trail Life USA is a national organization that focuses on developing boys and young men, providing character building opportunities, outdoor adventures such as camping, hands on learning, and non traditional school sports such as archery, rock climbing, fishing. The men teach the young men, and the young men teach the boys. The focus is on the youth, learning responsibility, integrity, and growing through teaching and learning to see God's hand in everything. He is the center, the Rock, of the Trail Life Program.

Immanuel Lutheran Church & School is located at 200 N. Plum Grove Road (at Wood Street) in downtown Palatine, just two blocks east of the Palatine Metra Train Station.
