Spook o' Ree Forms are needed

Posted on Oct 26 2025 - 8:22pm

If you are attending Spook o' Ree, you need to send us your permission form for Archery, slingshots, and BB guns (all on one form).  

The form can be downloaded here: https://goldengatescouting.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/GGAC-Firearms-Permission-2024.pdf

Please fill out and return the Archery/Slingshot/BB gun permission slip for each child participant.   Note that archery and slingshot have the same line on the permission slip. If you want to permit one but not the other, please cross out the one you don't want and let me know when you return the form. 
 
If you are hesitant about the BB guns, it has been recommended that you still attend the safety discussion at the beginning of the BB gun session.  It presents good general safety knowledge, and I understand that many parents have given permission to their scouts after hearing the safety talk, once they see how seriously Scouting America takes gun safety. 

Scouting For Food: Part 1

Posted on Oct 26 2025 - 8:22pm

On Saturday, November 8th, we will have Part 1 of the annual scouting for food event.  Scouts will work in groups to distribute "Scouting for Food" door hangers to Del Rey neighborhoods. Meet at Del Rey at 9:00. and we will break into groups to distribute the flyers.  The amount of time it takes will vary from group to group, but we are usually done by 11.   

Pack Meeting This Wednesday - Personal Safety

Posted on Oct 12 2025 - 7:59pm

At the pack meeting this Wednesday, scouts will continue their journey by learning about personal safety and first aid.

We will start out at 6pm in the Del Rey MPR with a wolf-led flag ceremony.

For the first half hour we will split into our dens. The Wolves, Tigers, and Lions will head outside to practice shouting and running to find a trusted adult.  Then they will go over some rules for staying safe at school and on the playground.  Finally, they will get to demonstrate those rules on the Del Rey playground. Meanwhile, Webelos will learn about natural disasters and staying safe in your house.  Arrow of Lights will learn some more advanced first aid.

In the second half hour, we will give the kids some hands-on experience with basic first aid and give some lucky volunteers some simulated injuries to be worked on by their fellow scouts.  

To finish up, the Arrow of Light scouts will treat us to a first aid skit teaching what to expect if you need to call 911.

At the end we will distribute our annual first aid kits and the personal safety advancement loops.  And we will close out the meeting with the wolves performing the flag closing ceremony at 7pm.

We can't wait to see you there.

T-Shirts

Posted on Oct 12 2025 - 7:57pm

T-shirts were distributed at the campout, we have t-shirts set aside for those that did not attend the campout, they will be passed out at the next pack meeting.  If your scout was at the campout and did not get a T-shirt, please let us know so we can set one aside.

If you need to exchange t-shirt sizes, please let us know as we have extras in all sizes.

If you would like to buy extra T-shirts, we have a couple of adult shirts and several kid sizes available.  

Campout Registration Closes Today (Monday)

Posted on Sep 28 2025 - 9:33pm

This year, our Fall campout will be at the Hawk Ridge Campsite at Lake Chabot. The campout is optional, but highly recommended.  You can have almost the full experience by attending just the daytime/evening activities if you are still hesitant about camping overnight. We earn several advancements at the campout, usually two optional and one required.
