If your child is in Kindergarten through 5th grade, consider joining our local Cub Scout Pack! Cub Scouts is for both boys and girls.
Cub Scout Pack 163 meets in Portola Valley – and draws from Woodside, Ladera, and West Menlo. Our pack is vibrant and one of the largest on the Peninsula, with 65+ active Cubs and strong adult volunteer support.
We hold regular camping trips, service projects, local hikes, and earn outdoor & community-oriented ranks and badges… and of course the world famous Pinewood Derby! And Cub Scouts steers clear of your kid's crazy weekday schedules -- with activities just once or twice a month, almost exclusively on weekends.
Our next open house is Sun 19 Oct, at 3:30-4:00PM, right outside the Portola Valley Town Center library. This is a great way for both parents and kids to learn about our program and participate in a 'Raingutter Regatta' model boat racing. And then from 4-5PM, feel free to stick around for a Pack flag ceremony and grade-level den adventures. Come see what all the fun is about!
Please reach out to Pack 163 Cubmaster John Fenwick (pv163cubmaster@gmail.com) with questions and/or interest.
Portola Valley Town Center – picnic tables between the softball field and the playground
High Sierra Backpacking, Pinnacles Camping, scout camp,Fishing, Wilderness First Aid, and Eagle Projects—oh my! It’s back-to-school time, and also back-to-Scouting time!
We’d love to invite families with 6th–8th graders to come learn more about our Scouting America Troops (64 & 4064). Whether your child has been in Cub Scouts or has never tried Scouting before, this is a great chance to see what our troop is all about. Boys and girls are welcome—no prior Scouting experience required.
We’ll start with a picnic dinner from 6:30–7:15. Afterwards, parents will gather for an info meeting while our youth leaders (SPLs) run a fun meeting for the Scouts.
This is also a perfect event to bring along friends who may be curious about Scouting. To learn more about our troop, visit troop64pv.org.
We hope to see you there!
Yours in Scouting,
Daniel Simon
Troop 64/4064, Assistant Scoutmaster
********
Troops 64 and 4064 are a boy/girl troop meeting twice monthly at Portola Valley Town Center. We have regular camping trips, whitewater rafting adventures, climbing days, service projects, hikes, first aid and emergency preparation training, plus more. And, of course, we offer leadership opportunities. We're a very active troop that moves Scouts through the ranks at a right pace for the individual, including two or three Eagle advancements per year.
