Learn what it means to be a citizen of the United States by participating in a variety of sessions, touring a site that is on the National Register of Historic Places, and touring a federal facility.  The program begins at the Common Pleas Courthouse and ends at the Rush H. Limbaugh Sr. U.S. Courthouse.  Presenters are from both facilities and will include a federal judge.

 

Participants need to arrive at the Common Pleas Courthouse at 8:30 a.m. for check-in.  Following the program at the Common Pleas Courthouse, the group will walk to the Limbaugh Courthouse at 10:00 a.m. and be dismissed from there at 4:30 p.m.

 

This program is recommended for First Class Scouts and above.  Reservations begin Monday, May 20, and end June 17, or when full.  The workshop is free, but reservations are required and space is limited. 

To register, call Rachel Marshall, Public Education and Community Outreach administrator at the Eagleton Courthouse, NO EARLIER THAN MAY 20 at 314-244-2410.
