The Club participates in local services projects targeting youth literacy, scholarly recognition, student international exchange, and purchasing shoes for disadvantaged youth. Meetings are held at noon on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of the month at the Stephenson County Farm Bureau. For more information, contact Dr. Brendan Dutmer at 815-994-2827.
As a Galena native, Matt attended Canyon Camp and earned his Eagle Scout when he was a youth in the program.  After earning his degree at Loras College in Dubuque, he started working for the BSA in Walworth and Jefferson Counties in Wisconsin.  For nearly the last two decades he has served northwest Illinois and southwest Wisconsin as the lead professional for the western portion of Blackhawk Area Council. He is proud to get kids involved in the program and enjoys finding ways to keep the community connected with the program for young boys and girls.
