JANUARY EVENTS

HOSPITALITY SUNDAY (Sunday, January 19, 2025, 8:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.)

A Scout is Helpful. Every year our Pack is asked to help out at the January Hospitality Sunday at St. Edward Church. For those that don't know, Hospitality Sunday is where, after each of the masses, parishioners are invited to the church basement to enjoy food and congregate. 

This year, we are hosting the event along with the St. Edward Green Team. You can learn more about the Green Team here: Green Team - St. Edward - Chicago, IL

Our Pack will be running the cereal bar. We need volunteers to bring different cereals, milk, and fruit, and volunteers to spend time at the event. Please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C084DAEA822ABFBC16-54360816-hospitality

We have slots for 10 different types of cereal, 5 gallons of milk, and 8 types of fruit (ok if multiple people bring the same type of fruit, but I'd like to have a variety of at least strawberries, blueberries, and bananas).

If you are volunteering your time, please sign up your scout for a 1hr and 15 minute time slot. 

The Pack will be supplying biodegradable bowls and spoons. 

JANUARY PACK NIGHT - RAINGUTTER REGATTA (Friday, January 24, 2025, 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.)

The Raingutter Regatta is probably our second biggest event of the year behind the Pinewood Derby. Each scout gets to build and decorate their own Regatta and race it on water against other scouts. If you did not yet receive a Regatta kit, please email your den leader and cc me on the email. 

Scouts will be divided up by age and will race against scouts in their age groups. Lions, Tigers, and Wolves will be in one group and Bears, Webelos, and AOL will be in the other group. 

FUTURE EVENTS

BLUE AND GOLD BANQUET (Sunday, February 23, 2025, 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.)

Our annual Blue and Gold Banquet, which is a celebration of scouting's anniversary, will be held on Sunday, February 23, 2025. This is a potluck lunch and is usually where the Arrow of Light scouts "cross over" into the Scouts BSA Troop.

PINEWOOD DERBY (Friday, April 4, 2025, 7:00 to 9:00)

Cub Scouts' biggest and most famous event. Kits will be handed out starting at the B&G dinner.

We usually hold this event in March, but because of the timing of Spring Break, we will be pushing into the first week of April

MAY PACK MEETING (Friday, May 2, 2025 7:00 to 9:00)
Our last Pack Meeting before the advancement ceremony. The last couple of years we did a Home Depot build, so we may do that or have another craft or build for the scouts to do. 

ADVANCEMENT CEREMONY (Friday, June 6, 2025*)

Our final pack night of the year. This one is held outdoors. We hand out rank advancements and celebrate with S'mores. *The date is subject to change, depending on availability of scouts at that time.

CUB SCOUT CAMP AT OWASIPPE (Sunday, July 27 - Wednesday July 30, 2025)

This is an amazing opportunity for scouts to take what they've learned throughout the year and put it into use on a 3 night campout at historic Owasippe Scout Camp in Wisconsin. Our Pack went the last two years and everyone had such a great time. This is available for any members of the Pack this year from Lion Scouts up to Webelos. The AOL scouts will be crossing over into Scouts BSA and will go to camp with our affiliate Troop 904.
