We are an inclusive, parent-volunteer-run cub scout program, serving our youth and upholding our community values since the 1950s.
Scouting gives our youth a safe venue to try new things and build self-confidence.Â
Scouting encourages our youth to achieve a deeper appreciation for serving others in their community
Pack 30 Facts
Open To All Children
Pack 30 welcomes children of all genders who are in kindergarten through 5th grade (generally ages 5 to 10). Scouts meet in Dens according to their age and rank being worked on (Lions, Tigers, Wolves, Bears, Webelos, and Arrow-of-Light, respectively). Youth entering kindergarten through 5th grade this fall are welcome to attend one of our Pack Meetings to try out the program before joining.
Lions Club Charter
Every Pack has a chartered organization that sponsors and supports the pack. Pack 30, part of the Herms District in the Golden Gate Area Council, is chartered by Berkeley Lions Club.Â
 Meetings
When:Â
We meet once a month as a full Pack (all scouts, K-5), generally on the 4th or last Monday of the month from 6 to 7 p.m. See our Schedule for details.
Each Den (smaller grade-level group) meets once a month, usually on a week night in the first or second week of the month. Leaders of individual dens determine a schedule of meetings and the meeting location.
The Pack also organizes an outing or event during most months. This can be a hike, service project, camping trip, or special event such as our annual Pinewood Derby car race.
Where:
As a full pack, we meet at Live Oak Park while there is daylight and the weather is nice. Over the winter, we meet indoors at St. Mary Magdalen Church, which graciously allows us to use its space.
Each Den Leader determines a meeting space for their group. Pack 30 dens have held meetings in a variety of places, including event spaces, public parks, home backyards.Â
