Boy Scout Troop 96 has been an active part of Grayslake, Illinois for many years.

The current Troop was granted a charter from the Boy Scouts of America in

September 1983. The chartered organization at that time was the St. Gilbert's

Parish Council. The St. Gilbert Knights of Columbus became the Troop's sponsor

in February 1990.  In 2009, the troop will continue to celebrate 25 years of continuous Scouting!

Troop 96 is a member of Boy Scouts of America Northeast Illinois Council's North

Star District. Membership in Troop 96 is open to all boys who are 11 years old or

who have completed fifth grade or who have earned the Cub Scout Arrow of Light,

but are younger than 18 years old. Additionally, a boy must read and promise to

observe the Scout Oath and Law. A registration form and class 1 section of the

Personal Health and Medical Record form must be completed, signed and returned

to the Troop prior to a new Scout participating in any outdoor event. This includes

complete payment of registration fees.
