Our pack is a family-oriented, high-energy, active pack. We are chartered by St. John's Church, located at 300 Jefferson Street in downtown Algonquin. Our pack meets on the third Thursday of each month at Lincoln Prairie School on Harvest Gate in Lake in the Hills, from 7:00-8:15pm, with a few exceptions. Our pack meetings are
family events. Our pack committee meets on the first Monday of each month. All registered parents are welcomed and encouraged to attend.

In addition to being part of the pack, each scout is a member of a den, a group of 5 to 8 boys of the same grade level. Dens meet at least twice a month to work on badge requirements. At the Tiger level (1st grade), the scout attends den activities with his adult partner. Each Tiger family should be responsible for arranging 1-2 activities that will enable the scouts to achieve Tiger rank. The day, time, and location of the Tiger den meetings are decided upon by the Tiger adult partner arranging the activity. Beyond the Tiger level (2nd - 5th grade), the scout attends den meetings with his fellow den members and at least two den leaders. All parents are expected to participate at the den level, as directed by the den leader. Activities completed during den meetings (grades 1 through 5) together with activities completed at home (grades 1 through 3, as determined by the den leader) enable the scouts to achieve their appropriate rank by. The days, times, and locations of den meetings are at the discretion of the den leader. 

Scouts are expected to wear their uniforms to pack and den meetings. For Cub Scouts that is the blue shirt and rank-appropriate scarf (scarf provided by the pack). Red vests are encouraged. Uniforms can be purchased at J. Scott Men’s Wear on Williams Street in downtown Crystal Lake. Pack 150 provides the handbooks the ‘class B’ uniform, a blue Pack 150 T shirt.
