September Registration Dates

Queen of Angels Church Basement

First Timers: Due to popular demand we added this date to allow for any parents and boys to come check out a Den in Action. This gives you an opportunity to ask one-on-one questions about Scouting and have your boys watch what Cub Scouts  really do.

Please email CubMaster to find out more information.

What to bring??

• Ideally both parents in attendance.
• Fill out the
  Family Roster & Survey before the meeting
• Check or Cash ($50.oo per Scout – this covers National Registration Fee, Boys Life Montlhy Subscription, all patches on Uniform,  Class B Uniform T-shirt, some yearly Pack Events)

If you cannot attend this particular date , we will have another opportunity to check us out at Harvest Jam Celebration on Saturday August 18th between 2pm – 6pm in front of Queen of Angels Church.

Are you interested in Racing Cars?

Are you interested in Racing Cars? No not pinewood derby racers, but actually Indy Cars!? Here is a great event to bring your scout that allows for huge discount of tickets. Chicagoland Speedway, along with the Boy Scouts of America and Dale Coyne Racing, would like to extend this special ticket offer, good for all Scouts and their families and friends for the PEAK Motor Oil and Antifreeze INDY 300 on Aug. 28, 2010. We invite you to come and support the No. 19 Boy Scouts of America car and its driver Alex Lloyd. There will be more details soon regarding driver appearances as well as other Boy Scout exclusive events. Chicagoland Speedway, the BSA and Dale Coyne Racing hope you can come cheer on the No. 19 car to the Checkered Flag!

Scout Fest 100

Scoutfest is one of those rare events that does not come often, unfortunately it is planned on same Day that Harvest Jam is scheduled for. However for those not attending Harvest Jam here is alternative that we highly recommend. Come celebrate the 100th anniversary of Scouting where it all began, downtown Chicago. ScoutFEST 100 will take place on September 18th at Northerly Island. This event is a once in a lifetime opportunity that will feature a midway of Scouting activities, an urban adventure hike, and a night under the stars and the Chicago skyline which will include a spectacular stage show in the Charter One Pavilion featuring Smash Mouth, fireworks over Lake Michigan, and camping in downtown Chicago. Be sure to check back often as new components are added!

2010 Activities Planned – Are you Ready!??

The planning has started for the 2010 Pack 3894 Events. The Pack Committee is so excited this year to hit the ground running on some of the familiar Events, to build on and make better. We also have brainstormed to develop some new Events, Fund Raising Events, Service Projects, and Field Trips. In past years, the Dens took it upon themselves to ask other Dens to join them on outings. In 2010-2001,  the Pack will coordinate the Events to allow for more things to do over the year.  Almost of these Events will not include any charges to You and your Cub Scout(s). We will though ask for assistance for drivers, chaporones,  and committee assistance.

The list here is growing, but to see the officially scheduled Events please visit our Calendar Schedule link.

We do encourage to please provide and Feedback, Event Ideas!! please post below….
