7/23 Scout Night at Oakland Roots Professional Soccer
|
|
Mission Peak invited to Scout Night at Oakland Roots
Is your unit looking for something fun to do this summer but low on ideas? Looking for a great event that also has a cool patch? Want to organize an outing but not have to collect a headcount or money from parents? Then look no further! The Oakland Roots is excited to host Scout Night at Laney College as the Roots take on Las Vegas Lights on July 23rd, at 7 pm.
|
Oakland Roots is a professional soccer team located in Oakland and they will be hosting the first-ever Scout night and it will be a blast! They play all their games at the Ozone Stadium at Laney College, which is right next to downtown Oakland. The details are being finalized but there will be different soccer activities all based on age where every group will be able to participate and at the end receive an Oakland Roots Badge. No need to purchase a certain group amount rather each participant can get their own ticket at a discount rate.
|
A link has been attached where anyone that is interested in participating/coming will be able to purchase their own tickets at a discount price. However, if there are some units that are interested in getting special food or drinks can reach out to the main contact, Eduardo Miranda at eddie@rootssc.com. Also, the link with more information for this event is also found below.

District Member & MBC Recharter due 6/26
|
|
For all Commissioners and members of the District Operating Committee, you must complete this recharter process no later than 6/26 if you wish to continue to serve in these vital roles.
|
For Merit Badge Counselors you will be receiving an email from Ron Fedele to complete a separate recharter process. If you serve as both an MBC and either a Commissioner or a DOC member; you must complete BOTH our Mission Peak process and Ron's MBC process.
|
Most of you have your primary & paid registration in a Unit, so you do NOT need to pay to recharter in the District, however, you must inform us of your desire to continue.
|
For those of you who need to pay for a primary registration in the district, the combined National + GGAC fees are as follows: $43.50 for 6 months from 7/1/22 - 12/31/22. You may have heard of an option to register for 18 months, but we are NOT offing that option in Mission Peak.
|
We are accepting payment in the following ways (listed in our order of preference):
|
- Venmo (@Steve-Conn-2)
- PayPal (@stevefconn)
- Check (Strongly Discouraged) made payable to Golden Gate Area Council & mailed to Keith Bauer, c.0 Golden Gate Area Council, 6601 Owens Drive, Suite 100, Pleasanton, CA 94588. Also send a photo of your check to Steve Conn, sfconn@gmail.com
In order for GGAC to accept your recharter, you must be current on all of the following:
|
- YPT must be valid for the entire period of recharter i.e. no expirations in 2022.
- AB5o6 mandated reporter training - see the status report from 5/4/22
- Live Scan paid background check - no report available yet. Probably will be available sometime in June.
You are on your honor to complete all three of the above, but I am told the Council will drop you from recharter if not completed.
|
If you have any questions about:
|
- District Operating Committee, contact Skip Phair at 510-651-9307, jfphair@yahoo.com
- Commissioners, contact Steve Conn at 510-220-6710, sfconn@gmail.com
