The Lincoln Trails Council of the Boys Scouts of America are partnering with the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to host the 2018 Spring Rendezvous and Links to the Future. The event will be open to the public on Saturday, May 19 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Wolf Creek State Park.

Melanie Byers is the chair of the event. She says while some events are restricted to scouts only, many are not and they invite everyone to attend.

Byers says other environmental organizations will be there as well, and it is a great educational event for kids and kids at heart.

Some of the activities open to the public include fishing, kayaking, shooting BB guns and traps, ham radio, and much more.
