Information about Pack 203
Cub Scout Pack 203 has been active since 1991 and is made up of Scouts attending Golden View Elementary and from families who live nearby. The pack is part of the Meridian District which covers Walnut Creek, Alamo, Danville and San Ramon. The Meridian District is part of the Golden Gate Area Council (GGAC). We are proud of the scouting traditions we bring to our school and to our community. Pack 203 is chartered by “The Parents of Pack 203” who are parents of children in Golden View Elementary. Our Cub Scout program exists because parents, like yourselves, volunteer their time and talents to support this program. By joining the Cub Scouts at Golden View, you will help keep the scouting tradition alive and well.
Our Pack is run entirely by parent volunteers and is divided by grade levels into Dens.
Dens:
Lion – Kindergarten
Tiger – 1st grade
Wolf – 2nd grade
Bear – 3rd grade
Webelos – 4th grade
Arrow of Light – 5th grade

What is Our Mission?
We are a family and home-centered program for kids in Kindergarten (or age 5-6) through 5th grade (or age 10-11). We strive to provide a high quality learning experience for our children, using predefined BSA programs, emphasizing family, loyalty, goodwill in our schools and communities, and outdoorsmanship. We have age appropriate programs for all our Cub Scouts to help them do their best. Our goals are to teach kids core values to make good moral and ethical choices, experience and respect nature, be good citizens in their communities, and help them “bridge” over to become Scouts.
Uniforms
Uniforms are an important part of Cub Scouting because they help to create a sense of belonging. They symbolize character development, citizenship training, and personal fitness. Wearing the scouting uniform gives youth and adult members a sense of identification and commitment. Depending on the event, we encourage all of our youth to wear their uniform or the informal Pack 203 T-shirt during scouting activities.
Pack Meetings & Events
Once every month during the school year, all of our Dens gather together to attend a Pack Meeting. This meeting further encourages scouting by hosting families and friends of our scouts to come and join us in our Pack activities such as the Pinewood Derby, Rain Gutter Regatta, and our Blue and Gold Dinner. Some other Pack and Den activities include overnight camping, visiting local police and fire stations, hiking, creating arts and crafts, or helping out in our school or community. The kids in each Den will have a full academic year to work towards advancing into the next rank. Once they reach AOL and complete their achievements, they are ready to “bridge” over to Scouts and join a local troop.
