Game Design adventure | January 27 Webelos Den Meeting

On January 27th, the webelos den worked on Game Design adventure.

In this adventure, the scouts learn the elements of game design and what makes them entertaining. They have the opportunity to create their own game, and then teach another adult or scout how to play it. 

We are reminded that some people didn’t grow up playing games. This adventure teaches scouts how to be patient when playing with their peers, especially when explaining the rules of a game.

Lions Hike | January 27

The Lions Den went on a short hike on Sunday January 27, after learning all of the important things needed for a safe and successful hike at the last den meeting!

Scouting For Food 2022 | November 12

Scouting for Food is an annual food-collection drive, and one of the many service projects the BSA has conducted since 1910.

This year, we had yet another successful event, with superb participation from a large number of the scouts.

Here is an album with a collection of some of the photos taken.

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 5 and picking up donations the following Saturday, November 12.

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.

Veterans Day Flag planting at Sunset View Cemetery | November 11

The Lions club (not to be confused with Lion den!) hosted their annual flag planting  event at Sunset Cemetery here in El Cerrito.

Coffee and donuts and a short ceremony/history were provided. The scouts then collected flags and fanned out into the cemetery to plant flags on the graves of veterans.

Popcorn Sales 2022 Update!

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.

 

China Camp Hike | October 8

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!
