About
Cub Scouts – Piedmont Council Scouting America 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. The program also includes Family Highlander Hikes, short outings and events, hikes, campouts, crafts, games, making and eating festive treats, building sailboats and racing them in the rain gutter regatta, and participating in events such as Webeloree, Twilight Camp, Cub Scout Day Camp, Archery Day, Bike Fest, Pinewood Derby, and an open house practice race. Cub Scouts also take part in Scouting for Food by distributing door hangers across Piedmont, the Tree Lot Fundraiser by selling trees, and den and pack activities that include games, learning-based activities, outdoor adventures, and field trips.
• Ages: 5–10 years old
• Schedule: Dens meet every other week for about an hour, packs meet once a month, Family Highlander Hikes and other outings take place throughout the year, Webeloree is an overnight in September, Twilight Camp runs for three evenings in October, Cub Scout Day Camp runs for a week in mid-June, and Pinewood Derby is held every February with a practice race the weekend before.
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. Cub Scouts in Piedmont are organized in grade-specific dens led by trained adults, with separate dens for girls and boys, and packs that participate in community service projects several times a year. The Piedmont Council serves boys and girls aged 5–18 through Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing Crews, and Police Explorers, and also provides coed programs through Venturing, Explorers, and Sea Scouts. The Piedmont Council supports these programs with a dedicated professional staff of four, over 150 trained volunteers, and a volunteer board, and reports that 25% of Piedmont youth participate in Scouting programs every year.
The Piedmont Council has prepared Piedmont youth for life for more than 100 years, with Scouting programs embedded into the community since the council’s inception in 1921. The movie “Up!” and the character Russell the Eagle Scout were based on Piedmont’s Troop 4. Cub Scouts engage in community service through Scouting for Food in partnership with the Alameda County Community Food Bank, and Scouts benefit the community via thousands of service hours, including Scouting for Food, Piedmont Community Service Crew projects, and scout-led Eagle projects. Bike Fest is hosted in partnership with the Piedmont Police Department and the Post 911 Explorers.
One parent testimonial states that Scouts has provided their boys with challenging outdoor adventures, team building situations, chances to practice leadership skills, and friendships while working through a variety of engaging achievements, and that these experiences and the knowledge acquired will have a life-long impact on their development into well-rounded young men.
