ABOUT PACK 210

Pack 210 is open to boy and girls grades K-5. The majority of den meetings are held in western Walnut Creek/Concord (St Francis of Assisi, Walnut Acres Elementary, Valle Verde Elementary) with pack meetings held throughout the East Bay.

We're located in the Briones District. Our local BSA (formally Boy Scouts of America) Council is the Golden Gate Council and our pack's chartered organization is St. Matthew’s Church.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to prepare children to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes, focusing on character, leadership, fitness, and citizenship through fun, hands-on activities like outdoor adventures and community service.

Our Cub Scouts are guided by the Scout Oath and Law. It's about building lifelong skills by encouraging kids to be trustworthy, helpful, loyal, and to do their best.

DENS EXPLAINED

Cub Scout dens are organized by grade level, with each level working toward a specific rank badge. The structure is designed to be age-appropriate, and Scouts typically earn one rank per school year.

LION

Kindergarten

TIGER

1st Grade

WOLF

2nd Grade

BEAR

3rd Grade

WEBELOS

4th Grade

ARROW OF LIGHT

5th Grade

RANK ADVANCEMENT

Cub Scouts advance through the ranks by completing specific adventures in each den level. To earn a rank badge, Cub Scouts must complete a specific number of "adventures," which are themed sets of activities found in their grade-specific handbooks.

Scouts progress toward their rank based on their grade level, not necessarily by having earned previous ranks. Earning a rank below a Cub Scout's current grade is generally not permitted.

Adventure Loops

Who earns them? Lion (Kindergarten), Tiger (1st grade), Wolf (2nd grade), and Bear (3rd grade) Cub Scouts.
What are they? Small, metal loops that slide onto the official Cub Scout blue belt.
Purpose: They serve as immediate recognition for completing individual "adventures" (specific sets of requirements) within their rank's program.
Advancement: To earn their main rank badge, a Cub Scout must complete six required adventures and at least two elective adventures. Each adventure completed earns them a loop.

Adventure Pins

Who earns them? Webelos (4th grade) and Arrow of Light (5th grade) Scouts.
What are they? Pins that are placed on a special display device called the "Adventure Colors" (a triangular patch) or a Webelos cap. They do not go on the main uniform shirt.
Purpose: Like adventure loops, these pins are awarded for completing specific adventures within the Webelos and Arrow of Light programs, which are designed to prepare them for Scouts BSA.
