9/17 International Day of Peace at Lake Chabot
|
|
Each year the UN International Day of Peace is observed worldwide on September 21. The UN 2022 theme is “End Racism. Build Peace.” We all have a role to play in fostering peace. We can work to dismantle the structures that entrench racism in our midst. We can support movements for equality and human rights everywhere. We can speak out against hate speech – both offline and online. We can promote anti-racism through education and reparatory justice. UN website.
The Park District looks forward to celebrating the United Nations International Day of Peace with you on Saturday, September 17 from 10 am to 1:30 pm at Lake Chabot Regional Park, Castro Valley. Program activities include Peace messages from our youth and faith leaders; singing, and a one-hour Peace Walk alongside Lake Chabot led by Director Dennis Waespi. A light lunch is provided.
|
There will be a gathering around the PEACE POLE – a symbol of hope of our Bay Area community and the global family for Peace on Earth. The Peace Pole is 12' tall, showcasing 31 languages, including Chochenyo, Nahuatl, American Sign language, and Braille. Learn more about the Lake Chabot Peace Pole.

10/15 Troop Showcase
|
|
Troops present themselves to Arrow of Light Cub Scouts
The Troop Showcase will be held at Centerville Community Park on Saturday, October 15 from 10 AM until Noon.
|
- Troops may begin arriving at 9:00 AM to set up.
- Troops will have to bring tables, displays, and anything else that they might need for the event and will have to sweep their area to make sure it is 100% clean before leaving.
- Parking is limited. We ask that troops unload equipment and then cars use street parking.
- We ask that all troops check in at the registration desk during setup.
This is 100% separate from the October District Roundtable. The Troop Showcase is one of the very best places for Webelos IIs to start their quest for their ideal Troop. Typically, over 80% of the Troops are present at the Troop Showcase with a similar percentage of the Webelos II Dens participating in the event. Please pass the word to Troops and to Webelos II, their Den Leaders, and their parents.
|
Updated information for each troop will be posted on the website. This is a resource for Arrow of Light Cub Scouts and their parents in their quest to bridge into Scouts BSA.
