Origin of Our Three Fires Council Name
In the early 1800's, Shabbona was a principal chief of the Ottawa, Potawatomi, and Chippewa group of tribes which banded together to form "The Three Fires." Shabbona camped briefly in a large grove one-half mile south of Shabbona, IL. He fought with the British in the War of 1812 and later helped the settlers of northern Illinois by warning of Indian uprisings during the Winnebago outbreak. In the Black Hawk War, Shabbona alerted pioneers to impending Indian raids and offered to lead an attack against the Sauk and Fox Tribes.
The name Three Fires Council pays tribute to the Native Americans who once populated this area, as well as taking inspiration from the idea of working together as a new council, drawing strength from the foundations created by the former DuPage and Two Rivers councils, and looking ahead to the future as the Three Fires Council.
The name was suggested by a Webelos Cub Scout in 1992. The council strip was designed by Rick House.
These 7 patches are from a commemerative patch set created in 1989 for a fundraiser for the Two Rivers Council, to represent the councils which merged to eventually form the Two Rivers Council, which later merged with the DuPage Area Council to form the Two Rivers - DuPage Area Council, later to be renamed the Three Fires Council. The councils shown above, and the dates of their existence, are as follows:
If you have any information regarding any of these councils, we'd love to hear from you. Please use our Contact page to send us anything you might have about any of the councils that now make up the Three Fires Council.
