STEM Spectacular
Three Fires Council's is holding their annual STEM Spectacular at the College of DuPage on Saturday, August 20, 2022.

Sign-up is completed individually at the Scouting Event website.

Parent Participation Needed
Our Scouting program is only as strong as the volunteers that support our Pack. We have many positions within the Pack that can fit with your skills and availability:
Assistant Leaders: weekly commitment to a Den
Committee Members: monthly commitment to the Pack
Event Helpers: occasional support for activities
If you are interested in having a more formal role in the Pack, please contact Mr. Crawley.
Shooting Sports Field Day & Overnight Campout
Join us October 01-02, 2022, for a fun overnight Shooting Sports Family Camp. After enjoying a fun day on the ranges, Cub Scouts and their families are invited to enjoy an outdoor movie experience complete with a concession stand. Cap the evening off by camping under the stars!!! You must register online for the Shooting Sports activity and the campout separately due to limited range space. Troops will be on hand to help Scouts and families set up camp and offer Scouts the chance to learn new Scout Skills.
This event is included in your Council Fee! Come enjoy the Great Outdoors with friends and family!
Cub Scout Advancement Day at Hoover Forest Preserve
The annual Cub Scout Advancement Day is scheduled for October 01, 2022, at Hoover Forest Preserve. We will post more information as it becomes available.
Haunted Hike & Halloween Party
It’s never too early to start planning for Halloween! We will have our Pack Halloween Party on Tuesday, October 25th at 7pm at Camp Kishwaukee. This is also Scouts BSA Troop 71's Haunted Hike event, so we will get to experience what the boys in the Troop have cooked-up for Halloween frights. There will be activities and snacks for the whole family to participate in!
