What's Happening in Pack 888
2010 Fishing Derby!
The Pack 887/888 Annual "Back to School" fishing Derby is scheduled for Friday, Aug. 27th 2010 from 4:30-6:30pm at Springbrook Crossing Park. (Naper/Plainfield Rd & Leverenz)
The pack will supply the worms... just bring a pole and show up! We'll also have a few extra poles available to those who may not have fishing gear.
Adults that fish should have a valid Illinois fishing license - the kids don't need them.
We'll be tracking QUALITY (size) and QUANTITY... may the best fisherman win!
This was one of our bigger events last year with 15 scouts in attendance. A great way to cap off the first week of school... and the start of another fantastic Scouting year!
Don't forget bug spray!
Hope to see you there!
