On Friday November 26th (Day after Thanksgiving), a number of Pack 104 scouts convened to complete a hike in conjunction with Troup 24. The whole group started out together & then split off along the way into 3 crews which did 3.6-mile, 7.2-mile and 10.1-mile hikes.
Here are a few photos from this hike
Very exciting for the pack, there was a siting of a coyote!!
Check out this YouTube Video to meet their furry friend.
WHO DOESN’T LOVE POPCORN??
This winter, a number of Pack 104 Scouts participated in popcorn sales to earn funds for pack activities and outings, as well as support other pack program-related expenses. This fundraiser also taught Scouts about salesmanship and contributing to their pack and the Council.
SALES RECAP
Here is a synopsis of how the popcorn sales went this year!
Council Popcorn Kernel Tim Welty said:
“We will for sure give Pack 104 the bonus commission for the in-person sales. They have done a really good job and carried Herms district to goal.” (Herms District has recently been the lowest-performing district, and our district’s goal was only $4000). Because of our performance we earned the “GGAC Above and Beyond” award, which gives us a 4% boost to our commission (32% to 36%).

Scouting for Food is an annual food-collection drive, and one of the many service projects the BSA has conducted since 1910.
870,000 Bay Area residents and a quarter million residents in our council geography lack adequate access to food. Scouts can help make an impact by participating in the annual Scouting for food drive
The annual effort for Scouting in the Bay Area is coordinated in November.
Help us collect canned goods and other non-perishable food for the needy! We’ll be passing out flyers on Saturday, November 6 and picking up donations the following Saturday, November 13.
Details on when/where to bring the donations that have been collected will be sent out via email to the Pack 104 mailing list as the collection date approaches.
On Saturday, October 30th, over 100 Webelos (including 5 from Pack 104) convened at Camp Herms in El Cerrito for a fun-filled weekend. The Webelos pitched their tents without adult help, put on a campfire program, and worked on several adventure pins including: Outdoor Adventurer, First Responder, Into the Woods, and Adventures in Science.
