2016 L.E.A.D. Training, Sat 1/30 The best place for one-stop training is at L.E.A.D. (Leadership, Education and Discovery). At Scout L.E.A.D., you can find all the courses you need in all the programs: Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Varsity, and Venturing. Bask in the warmth of friendliness and camaraderie of like-minded Scout leaders. This is Scout L.E.A.D and it’s a blast! Catch-up with old friends and meet new friends. Expanding your network of scouters will enable you to leap tall scouts in a single bound. All adults (Uniformed Leaders, Committee Members, Interested Parents, District & Council volunteers) are invited. Invest in the future – YOUR future success as a Scout leader, and the continuing interest and engagement of your Scouts depends on trained adults. Every Scout deserves a trained leader.

10/18, Try-Athlon Overnighter Are you ready for some fun and games, and maybe even a little CAMPING!!!! If you are then come join us at the Archdiocese Campground to test your athlete prowess on Saturday and bring your tent and stay for the night! If you have no interest in the athletics, then join us for dinner and the campfire program and the camping. If you are not into camping or athletics, then just come for the campfire. Scouts will get the most out of the weekend however, if they do it all, but its your families choice. The quasi-athletic events will begin at 2:00pm and will probably end at 4:30pm. The events will begin with some basic calisthenics followed by bobbing for apples, apple on a rope, sack races, an obstacle course, a rope swing, and many of the athletic challenges found in the Bear handbook (leg wrestling, arm wrestling, crab crawl, etc). Click here for additional details or online payment. If you have any questions please contact the outing leader Maria Bagley.	Oct 6, 2014	2245
10/11 Pumpkin/Gourd Harvest & 10/12 Fundraising Sale Come on out for our Pumpkin and ornamental gourd sale. Mr. Manning's neighbor has been gracious enough to allow Pack 420 to pick all the pumpkins and gourds that we want for our own fundraising benefit. Like the mistletoe, this is low overhead and high fundraising with all of the sales going to the Pack. On Saturday 10/11 at 2:00pm we will harvest the pumpkins and load them into my truck. If we get a good turn out this should only take a couple of hours. It will be a great event to pick pumpkins in a rural setting. On Sunday 10/12 at 11:00am we will haul our pumpkins to the country road intersection of Alhambra Valley Road and Bear Creek Road and set up our pumpkin and gourd stand. We will sell for a few hours and see how we do. Bring a bag lunch, something to drink, and a lawn chair. I've seen pumpkins selling for $3 - $12 or more depending on the size. I think if we made a couple of hundred dollars we'd be doing fine (that would be more than we collected all year last year in recycling). We'd have to be out of our GOURD to not capitalize on this opportunity! If you have any question please Chris Manning or call (925) 229-0880.	Oct 2, 2014	2245
