Cub Scout Pack 296 invites children of all genders in grades 1–5 to Information Night on Sept. 12 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Joaquin Miller Elementary and our Back to School picnic, Saturday, Sept. 22 from 12 to 2:30 p.m. at the Pinewood Picnic Area in Joaquin Miller Park. Pack 296 is a fun, active pack with kids from several Oakland schools including Sequoia, Redwood Heights, Joaquin Miller and Montclair. We are a registered member of Scouts for Equality and welcome families from all backgrounds and compositions. Each month, in addition to an optional activity, all grades meet as a pack and each grade meets as a den. BSA runs summer camps as well.
