Hello Pack Families,

Our next fun event is a short overnight camping trip on Friday, November 6th, at the Firestone Scout Reservation.  This will be a very short outing that is designed to introduce basic outdoor skills and have fun as a pack.  We will meet at Firestone anytime after 4:30 pm on Friday and setup camp.  We will enjoy a campfire and enjoy some skits and company. On Saturday morning we will cook and enjoy a hearty breakfast, followed by some archery and some rank requirements for each den.  We will be leaving by 1:00 in the afternoon on Saturday, allowing parents plenty of time to prepare for their Saturday evening plans.  

An overnight camp outing is a requirement for the Wolf and Bear ranks, and this will be the last pack over-nighter before the February Court of Honor.  All pack families are encouraged to take advantage of this outing.  The cost is only $5 per CubScout, and $15 per family member.  This includes the camp fees, archery activity, breakfast, and snacks.  All families would bring their own tents and sleeping bags.  Siblings are welcome and can participate in all of the activities at camp.

All families who would like to attend camp must sign up by Monday, November 2nd. on our Sign-up page, and complete a consent form for all youth attending

Hello Pack Family Campers!

Family Camp is less than 3 weeks away, so it is time to start getting all your camping gear lined up for a fun weekend at the beach!  A few details are listed below, and more info will follow shortly!

We will be camping at the Cabrillo Beach Youth Waterfront Sports Center in San Pedro where we will be swimming, canoeing, row boating, kayaking, AND have a number of other optional activities to choose from!

WHERE ARE WE GOING?

The address is 3000 Shoshonean Road, San Pedro.  Click here for directions to the camp site.  Please plan to arrive between 4:00 pm and 7:00 pm.  Although San Pedro is not terribly far away, do consider the ubiquitous L.A. traffic when scheduling your departure time.

WHAT TO BRING?

Camp will provide all meals on Saturday, as well as Sunday breakfast.  Each family should bring their own picnic dinner for Friday evening.  It’s not too early to start getting your gear lined up for the trip, so please click here for the complete list of items to bring.

WHAT WE WILL BE DOING?

The weekend schedule is being finalized by the Camp Director and will be provided to you soon.  However, here are a few general scheduling items to note:  After we are set up camp on Friday, everyone who will be doing any activity in the water must complete a SWIM CHECK. This is intended to help identify those who can go on the water crafts alone and those who can swim in the deep end of the pool.

THE CAMPFIRE

As we have done in the past, we will be having our Pack Family Campfire on Saturday evening. We would like every family to participate by performing a skit, song, or other performance. Families may work with other families.  Pack Family Campfire promises to be a hoot!

Pack 811’s Annual Summer Family Camp took place August 1st– 3rd in the beautiful mountains near Cedar Glen, CA. The excitement began on Friday evening with a sunset hike to the camp observatory. Scouts and their families gathered some interesting theories about black holes, while pondering the magnitude of solar systems! Amidst the clear night skies, outdoor telescopes enabled everyone to enjoy impressive views of the Moon and Saturn!

Although Saturday brought gray skies and intermittent showers, campers happily kept busy all day by testing their skills on the Indoor Rock Wall, designing personalized flags, learning about horsemanship and equine care and canoeing or fishing on Firebird Lake. A couple of our extra-lucky Scouts reeled in some impressive Trout! A relentless Saturday evening rainstorm provided us with the opportunity to further test our creativity by bringing our Pack Family Campfire Program indoors. With the efforts of a very talented and imaginative Pack Leadership Committee, the Camp Dining Hall was magically transformed into a warm and cozy fireside assembly. Cubmaster Koos served as our hilarious Master of Ceremonies while each family presented an entertaining skit. The Camp Kitchen Crew graciously baked up some gourmet s’mores for a late-night snack.

Our Pack Family was blessed with good road conditions and clearing skies for the drive home on Sunday, with many great memories of an adventurous weekend! Pictures of the event have started to come in and are available in the Pack Albums.
