Cub Scouts have fun with a purpose! Cub Scout Pack 255 serves San Mateo Coastside kindergarten through fifth grade in Montara, Moss Beach, Princeton, El Granada, and Half Moon Bay. Cub Scouts learn and practice scout values through age appropriate individual and group activities while making lifelong friends in the process. Our Pack 255 family is very active with something for everyone.  We like to think of it as a smorgasbord where you take what works for you and leave what doesn't work.  We have a full calendar of events from September through May and a lighter schedule during summer for eager enthusiasts.

Come check us out!  All are welcome.  We meet as a Pack at the Half Moon Bay Yacht Club at Pillar Point Harbor.  Pack meetings are usually held the third Tuesday of the month, September through May.  For smaller meetings, our Dens meet once/twice a month at different times.

Popcorn sales kickoff meeting

Welcome to Popcorn KickOff 2025 | Pack 255

Pack 255 is excited to kick off 2025 with our annual popcorn fundraiser! Selling popcorn not only funds our activities but also helps Scouts build confidence, perseverance, and leadership skills. Through setting goals, speaking with the community, and working hard, Scouts learn life lessons that extend far beyond Scouting. The community, in turn, has the opportunity to support local youth and contribute to experiences that shape their growth.

BSA National Council Announces Financial Restructuring

Dear Scouting Friends,
 
Today, the national organization of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to achieve two key objectives: equitably compensate victims who were harmed during their time in Scouting and continue to carry out Scouting’s mission for years to come.
 

Pinewood Derby - 2020

Posted by fusion94 on Feb 18 2020 - 10:42am

The pinewood derby is a racing event for unpowered, unmanned miniature cars. With the help of adults, Scouts build their own cars from wood, usually from kits containing a block of pine wood, plastic wheels, and metal axles. 

For those new to Scouting, it goes like this. Each Scout starts off with a block of wood and four simple wheels. With a little help (well, maybe sometimes more than just a little!) from family or friends, the Scout gets to make his car as he envisions. The project is a fun way for Scouts to be creative, to learn how to work together with others, and to develop building and/or wood-working skills. The car often becomes a treasured keepsake for most Scouts -- many a Scouting dad has fond memories of racing their Pinewood Derby car as a kid. 

The cars in each den are raced together. Pack 255 awards trophies for the First and Second finishers in each den in the speed contest, and First place for the entire Pack. During the Pack meeting leading up to Derby Day, Scouts will also receive awards for Most Creative, Best Design, and Best Cub Scout Spirit, and other categories. Speed trophies are awarded for each Cub Scout level (i.e. Tiger, Wolf, Bear, Webelo I, Webelo II). But the real prize that each Scout wins is priceless -- creative fun, edge-of-your-seat thrills, and memories that may last a lifetime.
