Webelos Dens Hike Flag Hill
Our two Webelos dens had an outing today to hike Flag Hill in Sunol-Ohlone Regional Park. This is a steep hill, so it’s recommended for older Cub Scouts. We had great weather and dry ground for our hike. We started in the valley floor and made it up the 1.6 mile hike in just 51 minutes! At the top we took a break for lunch and great company. We took gentler trails on the way down.

Scouting for Food
This is a great event where we will collect food for the needy. It’s a major effort by all Scouting units in the Bay Area.
November 12, Saturday, 9 am - Noon (approx), Brookvale School
We will be working with Boy Scout Troop 132 to pass out door hangers in the Brookvale neighborhood. This should take between 2-3 hrs, and those who arrive promptly will be treated to donuts and drinks.
November 19, Saturday, 9 am - Noon, Brookvale School
On this day we will be working with Boy Scout Troop 154 to pick up food that people leave in front of their homes (in the same Brookvale neighborhood). Then we will meet at a central location to sort the food for delivery. Donuts and drinks for those who arrive early.

Trail Trek Hike at Redwood Creek Park, Oakland. October 16, 1 pm - 5 pm
This is a wonderful loop hike up the Stream Trail along Redwood Creek through a magnificent second-growth redwood forest which is over a century old. The hike is completed by looping back on the East Ridge Trail, which gives access to different scenery and great views. This is a longer hike. Therefore the BSA has designated this hike a Bears/Webelo hike.
Meet at the Canyon Meadow staging area at 1 pm (as indicated on the map).

Hoot Owl Hike on May 13
Livermore at Dusk
The May 13 - Trail Trek Hike, Hoot Owl - Livermore is fast approaching. This is an evening hike that is Ranger-led. Only 20 participants are allowed. If more than 20 show up the ranger will not begin the hike.
We would like to bring as many scouts as possible. 15 scouts with 5 parents willing to drive.
In order to make this fair the scouts having priority would be the Webelos II & I followed by the Bears, Wolf & Tigers. Obviously if you have already hiked this hike please allow others to have the opportunity.
More to follow as we get a consensus of who are interested.
Please check our website for additional information about the Hoot Owl hike.
