The Golden Gate Area Council is partnering with the Presidio Half Marathon on Sunday, June 22 in San Francisco, and we have some great ways for Mission Peak District Scouts, Scouters, and families to get involved:
|
- Volunteer shifts (service hours!):
- Setup: 6–10 AM
- Event support/breakdown: 9 AM–1 PM
-
(You may finish early depending on event flow.)
-
-
Run as a team! Join the official Scouts BSA Running Team (all ages welcome). Use code SCOUTS20 for 20% off registration.
- Fundraise for GGAC: We’re an official charity partner—raise funds for Scouting while participating!
Let’s show San Francisco the best of Scouting! DM me if you have questions!
