By popular demand, we are once again hosting a fun outing for our favorite BSA volunteers! Come join us at a fun and friendly in-person mixer for all our Scout leaders/parents/volunteers in the Mission Peak District! Swiss Park will have their kitchen and bar open with delicious pub food including the $20 Scout Prime Rib Special, and tasty drinks so come out and socialize at this no-host event and get together with your fellow Scout leaders, parents, and volunteers!

Wednesday, December 13th from 4pm-7pm

Swiss Park, 5911 Mowry Avenue in Newark, California

You have been waiting all year to get this invitation so do not miss out on this great opportunity to reconnect and have a great time. We will also have a LiveScan opportunity going on at the same time so take this chance to socialize and legalize yourself 😊 This is an unofficial event so no BSA uniforms/attire but bring your face mask, your friendly personality, and an appetite!

Please RSVP to Eve Little at EvelynMarieLittle@gmail.com to help give us a headcount for the event. Looking forward to having everyone out chatting with each other and discussing this great year!
