I previously wrote about a potential merger between two Illinois Councils, Trails West and Okaw Valley councils. Well now it looks like the the merger has been approved.
Members of the Trails West Boy Scout Council and the Okaw Valley Boy Scout Council voted to consolidate the two councils and form a new council.
The new Boy Scout council in the metro-east area will be known as the Lewis and Clark Council, said Robert J. Smejkal Jr., program director at the Trails West Council in Wood River. The new council will oversee Boy Scouts in a 15-county area of Southwestern Illinois.
Since the merger is after the OA charter period, it is likely the OA Lodges will not be required to merge until the end of 2009.
