Pack 104 Wolf Den completed a hike at Point Pinole on October 16th. Here are some photos from the hike.

This year, Pack 104 tried something different with the popcorn sales: Table sales at Del Norte BART and Ace Hardware of Pinole. Scouts signed up for hour long shifts. The Popcorn Kernel helped with the table set up and logistics, so the Scouts didn’t need to bring anything except themselves, their popcorn sales pitch, their water bottle, and their Cub Scout enthusiasm.

The sales locations are protected from rain, so we sold rain or shine. Here are a few pics from popcorn sales from mid-October.

Some of the scouts from Pack 104 completed a hike at China Camp this past weekend. 

Almost 5 miles! Afterwards, scouts got a history lesson, and a nice treat, surprisingly the store did not overpriced their items! #beautifuldestinations #hikingforfun #scouts

Here are some photos taken during the day. We had so much fun!

For this year’s Pack 104 Fall Campout, on September 23-25, we went to Mount Madonna in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Mt. Madonna is a gorgeous county-run park in Santa Clara County. We have reserved the Huckleberry group camp for the pack. Your whole family (and friends!) are welcome to come join us for three days and two nights of camping, hiking, and of course S’mores.

The park has several lovely eco-zones, including redwoods, oak woodland, and grassy meadows. This gem is a well maintained, 4,605 acre park dominated by the redwood forest characteristic of the Santa Cruz Mountain range. To the east, the park overlooks the Santa Clara Valley, to the west, Monterey Bay.

Several of the AOLs went on a horseback riding adventure at Mount Madonna Stables. The scouts had a fantastic time!

More information on the park can be seen at the county website: https://parks.sccgov.org/santa-clara-county-parks/Mt.Madonna-county-park

Troop 24 extended an invitation for AOLs to join them on a 5-mile hike. This is a fairly easy hike with the exception of a 600 ft steep section. There were at least 6 AOLs who joined the hike.

The pack completed a short, flat hike around Rodeo Lagoon in Marin on Saturday, September 10 from 10 am to 12 pm.

Pack 104 reconvened after summer break for the first fall meeting. 

The meeting’s theme was centered on disability awareness. 

Each year Pack 104 does a service project to improve Camp Herms. 

Scouts and their families gathered early morning at 9 am on Sunday August 14ths to help plant and spread mulch on the hillside south of the Dogpatch cabins.

Below are some photos taken during the morning. Thank you to all the people who came and contributed to the success of this important project. 

Scouts from Pack 104 met at the Rock Springs early morning for a 4-5 mile round trip hike on spectacular Mt. Tam! It was a spectacular outing.
