Pack 93 Summer Pack Activities

The lazy days of summer are here and were have two fun events planned. We don't have regular meetings, but we plan one activity per month.

July Activity

Point Lobos  and tide pool hike.

Sat July 21st Point Lobos.
Meet 11am at the fee station at entrance.

Park outside the park as there is very little parking inside the park. Meet at the entrance of the park by the fee station. Bring water, hat, sunscreen and snack. Low tide is at 12:30pm so we can hike before exploring the tide pool areas. Binoculars are a good idea.
Sign up on the attendance sheet ASAP as we will cancel hike if not enough interest. We know it's summer and everyone has vacation and camps.

Good bye to the 2017/2018 scouting year

As a closing, I want to thank you all for a truly wonderful year.

As a pack we've hiked Pinnacles East and West, Elkhorn Slough, and Nisene Marks.

We've spent nights on the USS Hornet and relived the glory and ingenuity of generations in seafaring and space technology.

We've donned our best Scout gear and brightened the holidays with mistletoe and showed our pride in the Veteran's Day parade.

And we've celebrated the joys great and small within our dens at the advancement ceremony, dinners, and family camp.

Hope to see you over the summer - you make it great

Memorial Weekend Family Camp May 25-27th

Calling all campers!

Memorial Weekend Family camp is finally here! This year we will be camping in Pinnacles National Monument and will be exploring the trails and caves on the East Pinnacles side. Please note: you cannot access this through King City, you have to go around the Hollister side.

We will be arriving Friday afternoon and staying until Sunday morning. 

Preliminary Details:

Date: Friday and Saturday May 25th and 26th, leaving Sunday morning. You are welcome to come for one or two nights. Flat rate per person, so come when you can.

Food: We provide all the food and cook as a team. Each family is assigned to help prepare one meal. You will be paired with someone who has done this before :)

Cost: $35-40 per person. Includes camping and food, regardless of when you arrive. So the longer you stay, the better deal you get. We will have a better idea of the numbers, once we see the head count.

Who can come: Your whole family is welcome. We can offer additional spots to friends if we have room. We have a limited number of spaces, so please sign up asap if you want a spot.

Camping equipment needed: Tent, air mattress, sleeping bags, chairs, plates and eating utensils and your personal items. Don't forget your swim suit, there is a small pool and it can get pretty warm.

We will bring all cooking equipment, we will need propane tanks, so if you have one let us know!

We will send out a more detailed itinerary nearer the time. Please sign up on the attendance sheet if you are planning to attend.

Thanks, Lucy.
