Cub Scout Pack 811

24 Cub Scouts Earn Religious Emblems

Jim Root — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:42:55 +0000

Every Scout pledges to fulfill his duty to God. Two programs for Cub Scouts, Light of Christ and Parvuli Dei, aim to build a relationship with Christ and his Church, and to increase appreciation for God’s creation and the importance of service.

In a ceremony on January 28th, Bishop Tod Brown celebrated Mass with Catholic Scouts in Orange County and presented medals to those who completed religious emblem programs.

Pack 811 is especially proud of our Cub Scouts for earning their well-deserved emblems, and for their parents and familes who supported them:

Congratulations Pinewood Racers!

Another exciting Pinewood Derby was conducted last Sunday, with nearly 50 scouts vying for the coveted first place race trophy and various design ribbons. Even siblings and dads showed off their car building in their own races. Never before have we had such creative designs, nor closer races. Less than 0.007 seconds separated the top three finishers. All scouts are to be congratulated for their handiwork and great display of sportsmanship. In addition to the racing fun, scouts were able to try on a real dragster thanks to Eagle Scout Rick, and were entertained by yet more pies in the faces of Christian and Jim. A great day was had by all due to the hard work of many of our great parents. Check out pictures of the event in our photo albums.

Blue and Gold Dinner

On February 25, 2012 from 4 – 7 pm in the St. Angela Merici Hall, we will be celebrating our annual Blue and Gold Dinner. This is a special night for our pack because it marks the anniversary of the birth of Cub Scouts. It is particularly memorable for our Webelos II den who will be transitioning from Cub Scouts to Boy Scouts.

Since our pack has become so large, this invitation is for scouts and their immediate family members (parents/guardians and siblings) only. Please send us your RSVP through this > LINK < no later than

Friday, February 17, 2012.

Thank you in advance. We look forward to seeing all of your there.

Yours in Scouting,

Christian Lising

Scout Sunday on February 5

Jim Root — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:28:37 +0000

Pack 811 will celebrate “Scout Sunday” at St. Angela Merici Parish on February 5th, in honor of the founding of Boy Scouts of America on Feb. 8, 1910.

Our Tigers, Cubs, and Webelos will attend the 9:30 Eucharist to proudly display their commitment to Scouting and to youth ministry at St. Angela Merici. Scouts and leaders will gather outside the church at 9:15 in full “Class A” uniforms, process with a color guard, and sit together in the front pews.

Any Cub Scouts or Boy Scouts who are part of the St. Angela Merici community (not just those from Pack or Troop 811) are welcome and encouraged to participate.
