Fairview Stew
Over 20 years ago, Troop 19 started a tradition known as "The Fairview Stew Campout," which has evolved into a twice a year invitation for Webelos and other prospects to join us for the never to be forgotten Fairview Stew.

The campout originally went to Camp Heffernan, then Camp Kishauwa (both former camps of the W.D. Boyce Council), but now usually visits Camp Tuckabatchee in February, where we visit the canyons of Starved Rock, and near Bloomington-Normal for a November introduction to the Troop.

"Fairview" Stew comes from the history of the troop. The campout began when the troop was sponsored by Fairview Elementary School in Normal. (We moved to the First United Methodist Church around 1990.)

We even have a song about the Stew, whose verse ends:

You will regret it, but you sure won't forget it,
It's that good old Fairview Stew.
