MONTICELLO, Ill. (WCIA) — Gus Martin and Greson Vance from Scouting America Troop 490 in Monticello appeared on WCIA 3 with Taylor Mitchell to discuss a forthcoming event.

Troop 490 is organizing a trivia night on November 1, from 6-8:30 p.m. Attendees can look forward to a pork dinner, raffle drawing, and additional activities. The event will take place at Monticello Christian Church.

The money raised from the event will help the scouts pay for tickets and other costs related to a trip to the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico.

“They’ll hike each day,” Martin noted. “It’s a unique experience for our scouts. This is one of those trips that every scout dreams of. It will be incredibly beneficial for these scouts to learn survival skills with minimal resources.”

You can purchase tickets for the event here. Visit Troop 490 on Facebook to learn more.
