On Friday, December 6, 2013 from 5-9pm, at the Brea Lion Scout Center, we have scheduled a CPR training course.  This class will  provide Lay Responder CPR(Adult/Child/Infant), AED (Automated Electronic Defilation) and First Aid training and will be taught by Specialized Services of Southern California (SSofSoCal).  The class includes HANDS ON practice and lecture.  The CPR and First Aid Certificates are good for 2 YEARS.

This course is open to all Boy Scouts, troop leaders, and parents of Troop 811.  Registration is normally $40 but we were able secure a price of only $25 per adult and $10 per scout.

There are only 40 spots available so it is important that you sign up as soon as possible.  Your spot is not guaranteed until you pay the registration fee.

If you have any questions, please see Mr. Lising.

Troop 811 along with Pack 811, Venturing Scouts, and Girl Scouts will be holding a Scout Information Day on Sunday, October 6 from 9-11 am on the SAM school lawn.  Our goal is to expose all boys and girls to the exciting world of scouting and, of course, to highlight the great things we do as a troop.  

As a way to draw a bigger crowd,  Assistant Scoutmasters Peter Toller, Dean Gialamas, and Christian Lising will be assisting some of the First Year Scouts in building a Monkey bridge for kids to walk across.  We need all the help we can get so we encourage all available scouts to come by.  Building starts at 7 am. 

Hope to see you there.

We will be going on a bike ride along the Santa Ana River trail. It will take place on Saturday, October 12, at 8:00 am to 10:30 am. We’ll meet in the parking lot at Yorba Regional Park (7600 E. La Palma Anaheim, CA 92807).

Make sure to wear Class B uniforms and a helmet.  Also, bring plenty of water.

Our annual Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser is coming up on October 20, 2013.  The money raised goes back to our sons to subsidize the activities they have planned for the year.

In order for us to maximize our profits and to benefit from this year’s fundraiser, we are requesting that each family donate 3 pounds of uncooked spaghetti or 1 one-gallon can of tomato sauce, or both.  If you would like to donate more that these items, this would be much appreciated.

We will be accepting the non-perishable items at our weekly Troop meetings.

Thank you for your time and support for this important fundraiser.

We will be backpacking the Cedar Glen Trail, a 5-mile trek following the Icehouse Canyon and Cedar Glen trailhead with elevation of 6400 feet throughout the Angeles National Forest.    It is an overnight trip beginning on  Saturday, September 21 at 9am and ending on Sunday, September  22 at 1 pm.  The trek cost is only $5 to cover transportation.

All participants must bring their own backpacking gear, food and water.  A sample list of gear can be found in Backpack Camping Checklist.  You will also need to bring a topo map of the area from either  Tom Harrison Maps (Mt. Baldy & Cucamonga Wilderness Trail) or USGS 7.5-min Mt. Baldy, Cucamonga Peak.

A BSA Activity Consent Form must also be filled out and given to Mr. Tsuyuki prior to the hike.
