Akela Chess Classic

For boys with an interest in chess, few Cub Scout outings can match the Akela Chess Classic.  Held every year in early February, Cub Scouts from across the district compete in a friendly day of chess games.  

Check-in usually starts around 8 AM with an awards ceremony at the end of the program, around 3:30 PM.  Past years have had two brackets: Tigers/Wolves and Bears/Webelos.


The contest consists of 5 rounds: 9 AM, 10 AM, 11 AM, 1 PM and 2 PM, with lunch served from 12-1.
