Pack Events (link to the Annual Schedule is below):
A couple of minor changes this year for Pack events:
1. All remaining events will be Pot Luck (main dish and a side or dessert) and the Pack will provide water and kids drinks.
2. Parent volunteers needed for setup and clean up for each event. Each family needs to volunteer for 2 jobs this year. If we don't have the volunteers needed for an event, it may get cancelled. So, please help us in any way you can.
A sign-ups genius has been created for all the Pack Events scheduled for this year.

The Pinewood Derby is one of our most popular events of the year! Scouts build and race their own cars against other scouts in the Pack.

FEBRUARY Events:
Recharter & Parent Meeting (one parent from each family needs to attend):
February 13th
By nature, there is a three to five year “turnover” in Boy Scouts. When our kids bridge to a Troop their parents (our current leaders) graduate with them. As a Pack, it’s important that our new leaders are not starting from scratch as this happens.
This year we are requiring that one parent from every family attend the Re-Charter Meeting. At this meeting we will fill the various Pack Positions. There are a few positions that the Boy Scouts REQUIRE be filled to qualify us as a pack. At this meeting we will be selecting individuals for these positions. If we cannot get all the positions filled, then the Pack will need to decide how to go forward. The required positions are: Committee Chair, Cub Master, Secretary, Treasurer, and Den Leaders. Additionally, we need someone to work along side Jessica Gaydos to learn about awards and advancement. All leaders will have to complete the BSA required training (online). We have not had a parent required meeting for several years, but now it's time to plan for the next few years of leadership. A few of the current leaders are either moving on (or will be within a year) or need to take a break to focus on other commitments in their lives. Please:
Blue & Gold (OLOG)
Saturday February 23, 5:00 pm
Come to the Scout's BIRTHDAY PARTY (aka Blue & Gold Banquet). We will celebrate with some games (brought to us by the Bear's Den).

This is your opportunity to participate in an exciting overnight program, Tiger Tracks. During the course of the evening, campers will track an Amur tiger through the taiga and look for clues that they have been in the habitat, compare their strength to that of the tiger and explore the many ways tigers survive in the Russian Far East.
Please RSVP as soon as you can to guarantee a spot. The 1st 45 individuals to RSVP will sleep in the Wolf Wilderness Lodge (these spots are guaranteed with the Pack's current reservation in which a down payment has been made). If more than 45 register, then we will have to add to the current reservation (assuming space is still available) and those attendees will stay at the Reinberger Education Center (may not be as unique of a building, but it does have indoor restrooms and will be at the breakfast location).
WHAT TIME DO THE OVERNIGHT PROGRAMS RUN? Overnights begin promptly at 7 p.m. and end the following morning at 10 a.m. Due to safety and security reasons we cannot accommodate any participant needing to arrive or leave between the hours of 7:30 p.m. and 7:30 a.m.
WHAT DO I BRING WITH ME? Sleeping bags and pillows are necessary. Camping mats are provided. Please be sure to pack appropriate clothing for the predicted weather (sleepwear, change of clothes, towel, wash cloth, toiletries, outdoor garments, and comfortable shoes). The program runs rain or shine. You must also bring the original signed waiver/emergency treatment release forms for each and every member of your group.

If you are interested in receiving a copy of the CUB SCOUT PACK 3520 HANDBOOK FOR 2018-2019, please email pack3520@gmail.com, contact your Den Leader, or use the "contact us" on this website to request a copy. A copy is NOT uploaded to this website since it contains personal information.
We are in need of additional volunteers to assist with the Pack. Please come to our Leader/Committee Meetings to lend us a hand. Any little help you can give would be GREATLY appreciated. Our Leader/Committee Meetings are held at 7:00 PM the FIRST SUNDAY of every month in the lobby of the Our Savior Lutheran Church (across the street from Hinckley Elementary School). The Cub Scouts are comprised of a group of parent volunteers. The Cub Scout program can only run smoothly if all the roles are filled. Please help the pack by volunteering yourself for one of the positions. This is for our kids and it will make life lasting memories.
Every pack is under the supervision of a pack committee, which consists of at least three members (chair, secretary, and treasurer). By handling administrative and support tasks, the pack committee allows the Cubmaster and Den Leaders to focus on working directly with the Cub Scouts. Every Cub Scout parent is a member of the committee and is welcome and encouraged to attend the Leader/Committee Meetings. All parents are urged to attend for information and input on upcoming pack meetings and activities. These meetings allow for open discussion of the agenda for pack meetings and any upcoming special events. We look forward to seeing you there!!
