Boy Scout Troop #43 has recently been formed in Mendon, Illinois and is chartered by St. Edward's Church.  It has been a number of years since there has been an active Boy Scout Troop in the Mendon/Ursa area. 

Youth graduating from the local Cub Scout Pack #70 to Boy Scouts previously went separate ways to find a troop, which unfortunately meant many failed to continue with the program.

A fundraising yard/bake sale will be held in Ursa on Saturday, June 14 at 306 Walker Street during the town wide garage sale. Funds raised will go towards camp registration fees, a troop flag, and other needed supplies.  All boys, ages 11 to 17 from Mendon, Ursa and the surrounding communities, are invited to join.

Meetings are held every Monday evening at 6:30pm in the St. Edward's Church lower hall. For questions, please contact leader Dave Wesbecher at (217) 430-1169.
