Bread of Angels Service Project – Saturday Aug 25

Hello everyone!!  Pack 811’s next summertime event will be this Saturday, August 25th to assist the Bread of Angels Ministry in serving meals to those in need in Orange County.  Those of you who participated in this event last year, you might recall the overwhelming emotions and joy in the faces of those we served.  For those of you have not yet had the opportunity to assist, you will find this both a memorable and rewarding experience.  This is a wonderful opportunity for the Pack to give back to our community, support the Church’s mission and present a wonderful life lesson (or two!) to our young boys.  This even qualifies for some scout activities (for example, Tigers e11, Wolf 11d, Bear 1b or 3f, Webelos 8e)

We will need two shifts of helpers for the event.  First shift will be from 7am to 9:30am and the second shift will be from 9:30-12:00pm.  All the meals are prepared by the Bread of Angels staff in the Church Hall at St. Angela Merici.  Parents and siblings over 14 years of age may be needed to help in the kitchen and in the hall to help serve the guests. The scouts and siblings under 14 are needed to help take orders (for lunch only; breakfast is self-served) and serve food to the guests. (The boys will not be able to help in the kitchen due to their young age.) Order taking will be easy; the guests will have a paper menu and they will select their choices by marking boxes and handing the paper/menu back to the scouts who will present them to the kitchen. The boys can serve and interact with the guests during the day.

We will also have the boys conduct a flag ceremony with a pledge of allegiance recital, which was a BIG hit last year.  The uniform for this event will be the Pack T-shirts; keep the Class A shirts at home to keep them clean!  Parents, you might want to bring a kitchen apron if you have one.

Signing up for the event is easy! Just click > HERE <and complete your information. If you have any questions, please contact Webelos II Den Leader Dean Gialamas at dean.gialamas@gmail.com or 714-292-3313.  We look to forward to seeing you all there!

Webelos Earn Their Engineer Badge at UCLA

!P1080026.JPG
On Sunday, January 8, 2012, all eleven Stealth Bombers took a trip to UCLA’s Pauley Pavillion and met with former cub scout leader and engineer Mr. Mark Josten.  The visit included a tour of the current contruction to the Pauley Pavillion along with some engineering lectures by Mr. Josten.  A great time was had by all (even the USC fans) and the lunch stop at In & Out Burgers kept our future engineers from crumbling down!

Webelos I Stealth Bombers Brave the Cold at Oso Lake!

1 Comment
This past weekend, eleven Stealth Bombers braved the cold at Oso Lake for the very first camping trip as a den outside of Family Camp.  Over the weekend, the boys earned FOUR activity badges toward their rank.  Four campers stayed the second night to go out early and fish for bass and catfish!  A great time was had by all and great food prepared by Chef John D.!

Blue and Gold Banquet – Sat Feb 26, 2011

Hello Pack 811 Families!  Our annual Blue and Gold Banquet is approaching quickly and this year is shaping up to be another outstanding event.  The Blue and Gold Banquet is the official birthday celebration for Cub Scouting.  Since 2010 was the 100th Anniversary of Scouting in America, this year is definitely a special one!  The pack’s big celebration gets its name from the Cub Scout colors. The banquet is traditionally a catered event for the entire family which includes rank advancement, special awards and recognition, and culminates in the prestigious Bridging Ceremony for our Webelos II’s moving into Boy Scouts.

Please join us on Saturday, February 26th from 4pm to 7pm in the Church hall to celebrate the achievements of our boys.   Since this is a catered event, we ask that you RSVP so that we can have enough food for everyone in attendance.   A form has been created to RSVP for your family, and can be found HERE.   I look forward to seeing you at the 2011 Blue and Gold Banquet for Pack 811!!

Yours in Scouting,

Dean Gialamas, Cubmaster

Bread of Angels

Our next Pack 811 event will be supporting the Bread of Angels held on Saturday, August 7th. Last year when we sold the Scout-O-Rama coupon books we committed the profits from the sales to the Bread of Angels (formerly known as Hospitality Saturday) to help feed those in need. This is a wonderful opportunity for the Pack to give back to our community, support the Church’s mission and present a wonderful life lesson (or two!) to our young boys.

Parents and siblings 14 and older will be needed to help in the kitchen and in the hall to help serve the guests. The scouts and siblings under 14 are needed to help take orders (for lunch only; breakfast is self-served) and serve food to the guests. (The boys will not be able to help in the kitchen due to their young age.) Order taking will be easy; the guests will have a paper menu and they will select their choices by marking boxes and handing the paper/menu back to the scouts who will present them to the kitchen. The boys can serve and interact with the guests during the day.

There are two shifts available to serve. The Breakfast Shift is from 7:30 to 10:30 (breakfast is served from 08:30am-10:00am) and the Lunch Shift is from 10:00 to 1:00 (lunch is served from 10:30am-12:30pm). We need more staff to help with lunch than we do breakfast. The uniform for this event will be the Pack T-shirts; keep the Class A (fancy blue shirts) at home to keep them clean! Parents, you might want to bring a kitchen apron if you have one.
