The BSA has teamed with Edison Nation®, an idea-to-shelf product developer, to create the Boy Scouts of America Innovation Challenge, where today’s kids can develop tomorrow’s products. Whether the invention solves a problem around the house, the yard, or at school; helps you take better care of your pet; or creates a new way to learn or play, the goal of the BSA and Edison Nation is to inspire young minds to submit their creative, new product ideas.

Edison Nation will invest up to $1 million to develop the selected ideas and help bring them to market. Selected inventors will receive a cash advance, royalties for life from the sale of their products, be named the “inventor” on any issued patents, and have an opportunity to appear on the award-winning Everyday Edisons television series. The challenge is open to all boys and girls ages 7 to 21, and does not require that the young person be associated with the BSA to submit ideas or be selected as an “inventor.”

For more information, read the complete BSA news release and head over to Edison Nation's website to submit your idea. Hurry. The program ends May 7th 2012!

Hi Pack 1776 Cubs, Families and Racers!

Happy New Year to you all!

This Sunday we will have our January pack meeting. To get in the spirit of the annual Pinewood derby race, we plan to host a "Down & Derby" movie matinee followed by a museum tour at the Blackhawk Auto Museum.

Ever been there?  It's just happens to be the coolest car museum in the area, and it's in our own back yard.  If you don't have design for your derby car, the Blackhawk Museum will definitely inspire our cubs.

So remember, the Pack meeting is on SUNDAY Jan 8 at Blackhawk museum from 2-4:30pm.

Start your engines, and race (within the speed limit!) to the big pack event,

Cubmaster John
