Deadline 10/14 - Recognize your Adult Leaders
Each year in the fall we hold our Mission Peak District Adult Leader Recognition Event.  We recognize the Adult Leaders who have performed above and beyond in their volunteer positions.  We know who to recognize because you the Parents nominate these Leaders.  We want you to take a moment now to think about who has done a particularly good job and submit the feedback now.  Use this online form now or anytime in the future to record your nomination.

The 2021 nominations are due by 8:30 pm Thursday, October 14th.


If you want to know more about the various awards give out by the District, visit our Adult Recognition page.

AOL Scouts & Parents - Troop Showcase Sat 10/16

AOL Scouts & Parents - Troop Showcase Sat 10/16
October is traditionally when the Troop Showcase is held. It is an opportunity for Troops to present themselves to the Aarrow of Light / Webelos II Scouts from all over Mission Peak. This year, we are trying something a little different. The Troop Showcase will be outside on Saturday, October 16 from 10 AM until Noon at Centerville Community Park, 3360 Eggers Dr, Fremont, CA 94536. This is 100% separate from the District Roundtable. The Troop Showcase has traditionally been one of the very best places for Arrow of Light  / Webelos IIs to start their quest for their ideal Troop. We typically have over 80% of the Troops represented at the Troop Showcase with a similar percentage of the Webelos II Dens participating in the event.

We are asking that Troops send us a one-page flyer by no later than October 6. We will then publish this information on the Mission Peak Website on the  Troop Showcase page. Then on Saturday, October 16 from 10 AM to Noon, Arrow of Light / Webelos II, their parents, and leaders are welcome to see multiple troops and discuss what the troops are all about.

Come join us at RLM as we hold one of our first post-pandemic Camporees. Our local Troops are also asked to invite any Webelos/AOL Scouts to come to see what Scouts BSA is all about!

There will be loads of fun activities like Shooting Sports, Hatchet Throwing, Scout Skills, Cooking & Pumpkin Carving Contest so bring your artistic skills. You may even see a Zombie or two roaming through the campsites.

The Troop reservation fee for this event is $50 and this reserves your campsite. In addition, each camper is $25 to attend, which will be collected at check-in. A late fee of $10 is added to all registrations received after 5 pm on 10/15/2021.
