Sibley Park Hike
A terrific time was had by all! Highlights included a long steep climb (okay, maybe this part was not too kind to some of us), a rock maze where we found placed mementos, great views of Mt. Diablo and the San Francisco Bay, cows and frisbee-like cow pies, snacking at a picnic table, a salamander that the kids found and returned to its place in the bay leaf tree stand, geologic formations, geocaching (although we struck out on finding caches), Round Top (the highest point in the park at 1763 feet which we scaled), and a welcome cake pop treat at the end of the hike. It was a great day for hiking!

Pack Hike at Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve
Interested in working off that Turkey Day feast?
Pack 380 has just the cure for you!
We have scheduled a pack hike at Sibley Volcanic Regional Preserve.
The plan is meet at a parking lot at the end of Old Tunnel Road on Sunday, November 27, at 1pm.
No worries; there probably won't be any volcanic activity.
The plan is to meet at the parking lot at the end of Old Tunnel Road. To get to the parking lot:
Take Highway 24 toward Oakland from Concord.
Take the Fish Ranch Road exit just before the Caldecott Tunnel.
Take the exit to Fish Ranch Road and turn left onto Fish Ranch Road.
Take Fish Ranch Road a short distance and turn right onto Old Tunnel Road.
Take Old Tunnel Road where it ends at the parking lot where we plan on meeting.
See this link for a map for the park.
Hope to see you on Sunday!

Scouting for Food Week
We started the Scouting for Food week on a great note this past Saturday. Under partly sunny skies, we gathered at Woodside Elementary for some donuts, bagels, juice and coffee before heading out to place door hangers in the neighborhood around the school. Den Leader James Lang provided direction to the scouts, siblings and parents before sending them off to cover the area.

Scouting for Food 2011
Scouting for Food is almost upon us!
In a previous post about Pack 380's visit to the County's food bank this year, we wrote about how important Scouting for Food is for the food bank. Last year, Scouting for Food turned in about 165,000 pounds of food. Way to go scouts!
This year we will be meeting on Saturday, November 12, at Woodside Elementary at 9am to distribute door hangers in the neighborhood around Woodside Elementary. Based on past years' experience, we should be able to cover the area in about two hours depending on the turn out of scouts and families. Please make sure that the scouts wear their uniforms.
We will follow this up on Saturday, November 19, to pick up any food left curbside. Again, we will meet at Woodside Elementary at 9am to do this collection.
In addition, during the week of November 14, Pack 380 will lead a food drive at Woodside Elementary. We will place a food bin near the school office to collect food donations that will also be delivered as part of Scouting for Food. We would like to get a few scouts on at least two or three days during the week of November 14 to staff the food bin after school to encourage food donations.

Good Turnout for October Pack Meeting!
We had a terrific turnout for the October Pack meeting. Thanks to all the scouts and parents, grandparents and adult leaders for making it to the meeting.
The meeting started on a super note with the Wolf den leading the Pack with the opening flag ceremony and the pledge of allegiance. Way to go Wolf Scouts!
We had a ton of awards that were handed out to returning scouts because we hadn't handed out any awards since the end of year advancement ceremonies at the end of the last school year. In total, two Wolf Cubs and five Webelos were awarded for their achievements. For the Webelos, the big achievement was their Webelo badges. Way to go Webelos!
The other award was a special one for us. It was the Summer Time Pack Award, which is awarded to packs that continue with activities throughout the summer. On hand to award the award to Cubmaster Llata, was Unit Commissioner Bernie Zurlo. This is a recent first time achievement for Pack 380. Way to go Pack 380!
The boy scouts from Troop 370 and their leaders were on hand to lead our cub scouts through knot tying activities and a T-shirt game. The boys had a great time!
The raffle was once again a hit as some delicious cookies were raffled off.
A couple of reminders to all Pack 380 families:
Fall Fest on October 21 at Woodside Elementary - Pack 380 has been assigned the 6pm to 7pm shift for the milk bottle toss game and the 6pm to 7pm shift for the bean bag toss game. If you can help out, please show up at these booths at 6pm.
Popcorn Booth Sales on October 22 from 10am to 2pm at Safeway Store - Pack 380 will be at the Safeway store at Treat Boulevard and Clayton Road from 10am to 2pm to sell popcorn. One incentive to help sell popcorn is that each scout will get one raffle ticket entered in his name for the November grand prize drawing for each hour worked. Let's see if we can top the $850 in sales from two weeks ago!
