''' | The '''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a [[local council]] of the [[Boy Scouts of America]] located in the state of [[Scouting in Illinois|Illinois]] and [[Scouting in Wisconsin|Wisconsin]]. Headquartered in Rockford, Illinois, they can also be found online at http://www.blackhawkscouting.org/ | ||
==Council History== | |||
The Council was formed by the merging of the [[U.S. Grant Council]] in the west and [[Blackhawk Council]] in the east portion of what is now the Blackhawk Area Council. Formerly, the two councils each had one camp. The council also owns a cabin in Mount Carroll, Illinois. The word Wulapeju (one spirit) refers to the merger of the Ma-ka-tai-me-she-kia-kiak (Chief Blackhawk's name) Lodge and [[Wetassa Lodge]] #227 as part of the council merger. Some older members of the former Wetassa Lodge still proudly wear their pre-1973 raccoon Wetassa Lodge flap on their uniforms. | |||
