T318 - 2026 Ransburg Campership Camperships provide life-changing camping experiences for Scouts who, because of financial challenges, may not otherwise be able to attend Ransburg Summer Camp. Troop 318 is making sure every Scout has the chance to go to camp, changing their lives through recreation, friendship, and experiences which will cultivate skills and values needed for success in the future. Scouts who face financial challenges may be able to apply to Troop 318's Campership Program. This is due to the generosity of the of Scout Bucks program. Scout Bucks can only be used for scouting needs and revert back to the troop once a scout leaves the program. The Troop Committee decided that these funds should be available for those that have a need and desire to attend Camp Ransburg. To be eligible, the following guidelines must be met by the youth applicant: Registered within Orland Troop 318 and in good standing prior to completing an application. Plan to attend Summer Camp at Camp Ransburg. Applying for campership aid must be done online via the Orland Troop Website by April 30th to allow time for review and allocations. If approved, the campership amount will be applied to the cost of Camp Ransburg. Funds will be credited to the appropriate camp balance on or before May 7th to give adequate time for notification by email of parents. It is critical that correct parent email addresses are given on the application, as this is the primary method of notification, or for any questions from the committee. The campership is to a specific individual and is not transferable to other youth. Camperships are awarded based on need. The allocation process, and information used in it, is confidential and will not be shared outside of the campership allocations committee. A Scout is Thrifty: A Scout works to pay his or her own way and help others. Camperships will not exceed 50% of the Early Bird rate.

T318 - Volunteer Opportunity - Village of Orland Park Tree Planting - Saturday, May 2, 2026 New Service Opportunity! Conservation! Helping the Community! Troop 318 has the chance to partner with the Village of Orland Park Forestry and Natural Resource departments planting approximately 25-30 new trees at Centennial Park. A diverse tree canopy provides enormous benefits for Orland Park, everything from cleaning the air to habitats for wildlife to beauty and relaxation, and we can help build a legacy of these benefits long after our scouting days are over. Every time you go to the pool, you'll be able to check in on the trees and point out to your friends that you helped plant those! The first service opportunity is the initial planting day. The Village of Orland Park will pre-dig the holes, so our help is required to place the trees, backfill the dirt, apply the Gator Bags (water bags), and do the initial watering. Every two weeks the patrols will be assigned watering duty of the new saplings on a rotating basis through the summer. Details on bi-weekly waterings will be announced later. Saturday, May 2, 2026 7:00 - 9:00 a.m. Centennial Park across from the Aquatic Center West Ave, Orland Park Sign-up below Please bring gloves, safety glasses, and drinking water. Shovels and rakes will be provided. Bring your school form OR your Scout Book if you would like credit for the service hours. Questions? Contact Mrs Finatri at OPTroop318G@gmail.com
