For those of you that are new to Brook Forest or unfamiliar with Cub Scouts, this is a great program for 1st through 5th grade BOYS & GIRLS that’s a ton of fun. We take hikes, go fishing, eat smores by the campfire, build and race model boats, build and race model cars, visit cool places, go camping, perform service activities, learn about cool things and a whole lot more.

To start off the year, we are conducting a “meet and greet” night on Tuesday, August 27 at OB Park District (Rec Center – Canterbury Room) at 6:00pm. This is a great event for you and your child to meet our current Scouts/leaders and ask any questions you may have.
