Scout Day with Oakland Athletics
Here are some of our proud Scouts of Pack 163 at the Scout Day with Oakland A’s held on June 27 this year. The Scouts were able to participate in a pre-game parade on the field and also received a patch from the team. Proud to be!

Bridging Ceremony and Campout June 12-13
It is hard to imagine but our Bridging Ceremony and Overnight Camp event is coming soon. Our Pack is going to have a lot of fun at Dairy Glen Group Camp at the Coyote Hills Regional Park, in Fremont, on Jun 12 and 13.
We will start at about 2 pm on June 12. Come and set up your tent and camping equipment, or just come and hang with the Scouts.
In the afternoon we will have our Bridging ceremony where the Scouts will advance to the next rank in the Cub Scout program. Tiger to Wolf, Wolf to Bear, etc. This is a special event, so everyone is invited to come: Scouts, parents, siblings, grandparents, friends, etc.
Afterwards, we’ll have dinner, a “root beer burping contest”, Smores by the campfire, and a flag retirement ceremony.
Folks not staying for the overnight camping will have to leave the park by 8 pm on Saturday. We’ll have a quick breakfast the next morning and be out by 9 am or so on Sunday, June 13th.

Save the Date: Summer Movie Night August 7
More details on location will come later, but please save the date for our Summer Movie Night on Saturday August 7th.
For this event we’ll watch the movie Down and Derby, a fun family film about the Pinewood Derby. I’ve seen this movie and it’s a lot of fun for both kids and adults! We’ll also have some goodies to munch on and some other Scout related fun.
Open House Recruiting
Pack 163 had a presence at the Open House events at Brookvale and Warwick Elementary Schools last night.
Although our Scout program tends to wind down during summer vacation, we do have a few events planned for summer in addition to the Cub Scout camps for current Scouts. We are planning a Movie Night in July and a BBQ Picnic in late August.
Check this site for updates to our summer programs.
