About
Piedmont Council Scouting America – Cub Scouts & Youth Programs includes activities such as exploring new trails, discovering creatures big and small, pitching a tent, using a compass, cooking over an open fire, and playing in the great outdoors. Cub Scouts take part in hikes, campouts, Family Highlander Hikes, short outings and events, crafts, games, making and eating festive treats, building sailboats to race in the rain gutter regatta, and outdoor adventures. The program also includes Bike Fest, Archery Day, Cub Scout Day Camp, Twilight Camp, Webeloree, field trips, learning-based activities, sports, scout skills, cooking, a traditional egg drop, and games at den meetings.
• Ages: 5–18 years old
• Schedule: Cub Scout dens meet every other week for about an hour, Cub Scout Packs meet once a month, Family Highlander Hikes and other outings take place every month of the year, Twilight Camp runs for three evenings in October, and Cub Scout Day Camp runs for a week in mid-June
Cub Scouting in this program is for boys and girls in grades K–5, with dens made up of similar aged and gendered kids and separate dens for girls and boys. Cub Scout dens are grade specific, led by trained adults, and meet every other week for about an hour, while Cub Scout Packs meet once a month to showcase activities, receive awards, and several times a year participate in a community service project. Families carve out time for Cub Scouting to explore the outdoors, engage in the community, and develop life skills and interests while having fun, and Cub Scouts earn recognition while doing activities that encourage self-responsibility, confidence, and willingness to help others.
Piedmont Council Scouting America provides age-appropriate adventures to develop character, leadership, citizenship, and fitness for youth ages 5–18 through programs including Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, coed Venturing, coed Explorers, and coed Sea Scouts. The Piedmont Council has over 150 trained volunteers responsive to the needs of youth aged 5–18, is supported by a dedicated professional staff of four and a volunteer board, and has prepared Piedmont youth for life for more than 100 years. The Piedmont Council welcomes anyone within its extended community who is willing to try to live by the Scout Oath and the Scout Law, and anyone, including those who attend school outside Piedmont, is welcome to join any Pack.
Community involvement includes Cub Scouts spreading awareness of the annual Scouting for Food drive in partnership with the Alameda County Community Food Bank, Bike Fest hosted in partnership with the Post 911 Explorers and the Piedmont Police Department, and the traditional egg drop with assistance from the Piedmont Fire Department. Scouting benefits the community via thousands of service hours through Scouting for Food, Piedmont Community Service Crew projects, scout-led Eagle projects, and more. Activities such as Scouting for Food, distributing door hangers across Piedmont, a Tree Lot Fundraiser where participants sell trees, and community service projects are part of the program.
Special events and activities include Webeloree, where Kindergarteners through 3rd graders attend Friday to Saturday with parents and Webelos and Arrow of Light Cubs attend Saturday to Sunday with parents. Twilight Camp runs for three evenings in October the week before Halloween and includes crafts, games, and making and eating festive treats. Cub Scout Day Camp in mid-June includes sports, crafts, scout skills, cooking, and a traditional egg drop that camper’s families join. Archery Day includes learning range safety and an archery shoot, and Bike Fest includes riding on bikes through an adventurous obstacle course, testing speed, and making a smoothie on a bike powered blender.
The mission of Scouting America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Notable Piedmont Scouts and Scouters include Stephen D. Bechtel, Jr., Clint Eastwood, Wallace Alexandar, George MacNamara, and Nobel Laureate Gary Ruvkin, and the movie “Up!” and the character Russell the Eagle Scout were based on Piedmont’s Troop 4. A parent testimonial from Nancy and Wes Steiml states that Scouts has provided their boys with challenging outdoor adventures, team building situations, leadership practice, friendships, and engaging achievements that they believe will have a life-long impact on their development into well-rounded young men.
