You’ll be climbing the walls at this activity! Join the troop at BSA San Francisco Bay Area Council’s The Rock for a private Climbing Merit Badge session with BSA staff. The Rock is a 32-foot natural looking rock with numerous routes to climb. Climbing routes vary in difficulty, so everyone can have fun no matter what their experience level is.

The Climbing Merit Badge requires at least 6 hours of time to complete requirements, about 3 of which are classroom safety learning and knots, and about 3 (or more) hours on practical skills in the Rock climbing area.

Dress in Class B with pants or long shorts and closed toe shoes or climbing shoes. Bring a water bottle. Lunch will be provided.

This project is an annual National BSA service project where non-perishable foods are collected for the local food banks. We will go door-to-door with informational flyers requesting donations on Saturday November 14th, and collect and deliver the donations to a central point at the LDS church in Danville on Saturday November 21st. Scouts may choose to participate on either or both days.

This is a great event to bring a friend (1st class requirement 10). Scouts will also earn service hours for rank advancement.

Since our assigned area is large and spread out (roughly 1.5 sq. miles with over 1300 houses), we will need many scouts and drivers to help on both days. Parents who can drive, please fill out the information especially providing your cell phone number.

** Donut breakfast will be provided for participating scouts & parent drivers. **

Contact Mrs. Michelle Marge if you have questions.
