Family Camp, Laguna Seca bike ride, Oakland A's Scout Day

Hello everyone,

Family Camp
Thanks for signing up for the Memorial Day Weekend campout.  I have submitted our initial roster.  If you still want to attend you can sign still sign up.

Cost is $30 per person ages 6 and older.  The Pack has paid the fee, so please bring a check made out to Pack 93 at our next meeting to reimburse us.

We will send out more info shortly on what we would like families to bring in the way of supplies.


Laguna Seca Bike outing

We are planning on participating in the bike riding event at Laguna Seca next week, on Wednesday May 14th.  Cost is $10 per person.  Thanks to Hilda for organizing! The event begins at 5:30 and goes to 7:30. 

Basic info is as follows:

Once you've committed to the track though, you can't turn back.....so everyone needs to understand that. It's 2.238 miles and you can go around as many times as you want during the 2 hours. There is a "paddock and pit" area to ride around in for those who don't want to ride the track.  Kids as young as  kindergartner make the hill at the track. There are also a lot of people who can't and simply push the bike up. All kids need to be with their parent/guardian or have a waiver form signed by the parent/guardian.

If you want to go, please add your name to the blog attendance spreadsheet.  I added a page for this.  By the way, page tabs are at the bottom of the spreadsheet.

A's game
The Scout day game is June 1st.  If you want to sit as a group, please sign up and bring your money to our next meeting on May 12th!  Jesse Gallardo will buy tickets for us, but he must have money in hand to do so.

Cost is $36 per ticket.  See link for more info:
