MONTICELLO, Ill. (WCIA) -- Gus Martin and Greson Vance from Scouting America Troop 490 in Monticello joined WCIA 3's Taylor Mitchell in the studio to talk about an upcoming event.

Troop 490 will host a trivia night event from 6-8:30 p.m. on Nov. 1. Organizers said there will be a pork dinner, raffle drawing and more. The event will be held at Monticello Christian Church.

The money raised from the event will help the scouts pay for tickets and other costs related to a trip to the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico.

"They'll hike each day," Martin said. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience for our scouts. This is one of those trips that's on every scout's bucket list. It's going to be super beneficial for these scouts to learn how to survive out there with little means."
