While scouts take a break from official pack meetings during the summer, we continue to offer a variety of hikes, outings, and other outdoor activities—and you’re invited! Come meet our scouts and learn what Pack 104 can offer your family before our regular schedule resumes in the fall.

Saturday, June 3: Nerf Games VIII: Who’s gonna do it? Knot me!
10:00 am–12:00 pm. Join us in the upper picnic area of Cerrito Vista Park. Kids will have an opportunity to learn knots and test their Nerf skills. Please bring an N-Strike Elite (or compatible) toy, but no darts please! (We will have darts available.)
Sunday, June 11: Briones Hike
9:00 am–1:00 pm. With its rolling, grassy hills and secluded, shady canyons, Briones is a secret wilderness surrounded by the towns of central Contra Costa County. Hike: 3-5 miles.
Sunday, June 25: SF Pride Parade
All Day. Organized by Pack 88 of San Francisco. This year’s theme is “LOOKING BACK AND MOVING FORWARD.” We march to show support for all LGBTQ+ Scouts and Scouters as well as the wider community, to show everyone that we believe scouting is for everyone, regardless of who you are! We march in the Family section of the Parade, so things are a bit tamer than other later sections.

Pack 104’s fall campout will be in lovely Portola Redwoods State Park. The road leading to the park’s 2,800 acres drops from a ridgetop into a deeply shaded redwood forest, offering a hushed getaway from the suburban bustle of nearby Silicon Valley and the South Bay Area. Eighteen miles of trails follow meandering creeks, where moisture-loving coast redwoods stand tall among ferns and huckleberries.
