Welcome to Pack 52!

Cub Scout Pack 52 is made up of Kindergarten to 5th grade students attending primarily Del Rey Elementary school in Orinda, CA.  Our pack has been in formation for over 50 years!  The site includes announcements about upcoming meetings, pack news, a calendar of upcoming events and a place to share great photos of our pack in action.

Spring Picnic and Ice Cream Party - April 26 - Rancho Laguna Park

Posted on Apr 20 2025 - 8:55pm

Come join us for the Pack 52 Spring Picnic! It will be on Saturday, April 26th at Rancho Laguna Park in Moraga.

RSVP for the spring picnic here:  Spring Picnic Sign-Up

The picnic will be a potluck lunch and each family is asked to bring a dish that can serve 12-20 people. We would like to have a nice mix of main dishes, sides, salads and desserts. The pack will supply hot dogs, buns, and condiments as well as compostable dishes and utensils. Please bring serving utensils for your dish if any are needed. One family may choose to operate as the "grill master" instead of bringing a dish. Sign up for this slot by writing "grill master" in the sign up sheet (first-come, first-served).

We are also bringing back a pack tradition of an ice cream sundae party. The pack will supply the ice cream and bowls. Each family may bring a favorite ice cream topping (or cones) to share with the pack.

If you can't edit the spreadsheet, you may email pack52orinda@gmail.com with your info and we will add it to the form.

 

Schedule:

11:00-11:30: Arrival, free play time.  The park playground will be open and we will have a number of games out for the kids to play (frisbee, lawn darts, corn hole etc).

11:30-12:30: We will have a discussion on healthy eating to finish out the personal fitness adventures for all scouts, followed by lunch time and continued free play.

12:30-1:30: Hike on the EBMUD trails (next to the park). Parts of the trails here are in direct sun. Be prepared - bring a hat and put on sunscreen!

1:30-2:00: Ice cream sundae bar and other desserts.

2:00-3:00: Free play and goodbyes.
