Blue & Gold Dinner 2015

Pack 380 celebrated the birthday of scouting with the Blue & Gold dinner!

We had an amazing night of Lego building with the instructors at Play-Well TEKnologies!

A big thanks to all the parents in supporting your scouts in their adventures in scouting!

2014 Scouting for Food - Great Job, Scouts!!!

Very proud of our scouts for their contribution to our local council's annual food drive, Scouting for Food.

We don't have the totals from this year, but here are some facts for Scouting for Food:

• The average collected over the last 17 years that our council has had its food drive is 174,109 pounds of food!
• The best year was 2002 when 204,669 pounds was collected.
• Last year, the total was down to 134,599 pounds.  Hopefully we did a little better this year.
• The total collected since 1997 is 2,866,547 pounds of food.  This equivalent to 3,821,862 cans of soup which would stretch out over 241 miles if laid end-to-end and go from Concord to Sacramento to Lake Tahoe to Reno and finally halfway to Lovelock, Nevada!  Now, that's a lot of soup!

Why do we do this?  Because a Scout is helpful.  Scouts help those in need.  Because we have Scout Spirit and live the Scout Law.

Who dies this help?  Mostly families and children who do not enough food.  The Contra Costa/Solano Food Bank serves over 188,000 people each month through direct service programs and has a network of 169 partner agencies.  Over 25 percent of people receiving assistance are children.

What can we do to make Scouting for Food even better?  Double our numbers by inviting a friend or encouraging each other stay out longer to collect food on our collection day.

Thank you!

Summertime Pack Awards for Pack and Scouts

We once again had an active summer with several pack activities over the summer.  This means that our pack has once again earned a National Summertime Pack Award.  This award is earned by having pack activities during the June through August summer months.

On June 1, the pack hiked Shell Ridge Open Space in Walnut Creek.  It was a beautiful day with vistas as far as the eye could see.  Scouts who attended were: James, Nikoas, Xander, Zachary, Ryan and Owen.  Good jobs scouts!



Cubmaster Llata organized a fishing trip to Los Vaqueros Reservoir on June 22. A good time was had by all who attended.  Attending the fishing trip were scouts James, Nikolas and Sam.  Well done boys!

The main event in July was the Muir District's summer day camp for cub scouts with our pack's Mrs. Lang once again serving as camp director.  The camp featured arts and crafts, archery, woodworking, bb gun, flag football, ultimate frisbee and astronomy to name a few of the activities.  Here's Ryan and Zachary on the archery range with our very own Cubmaster Llata serving as the range master.



Scouts who attended summer camp were: Tyler, James. Nikolas, Xander, Leo, Zachary, Ryan and Owen.

The pack wrapped up July with a bowling outing at Diablo Bowl. Although there were no perfect games recorded, scouts Jacob, James, Nikolas and Xander had a blast!

In August, the pack held two events: frisbee golf in Walden park where they have a nine-hole course and a bike ride covering nearly nine miles through Concord and Walnut Creek that included stops at Heather Farms and Arbolado Park. Trying their hand at frisbee golf were scouts Logan M, James, Nikolas, Xander, Sam, Austin A, Ryan and Antonio. The bike included scouts James, Xander, Zachary, Ryan and Owen.

In addition to the pack earning its summertime pack award, the following scouts have also earned their summertime pack award pins for having participated in at least one pack activity each month of the summer: bear pin earners are Zach, Nikolas and Xander with Webelo pin earners being Zach, Ryan and Owen. Well done scouts!
