Background
In 2014, the Cub Scout Pack 163 of Milpitas, California was chartered by the Rotary Club of Milpitas. We were issued a charter by the Boy Scouts of America. We are affiliated with the Coyote Creek District of the Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council. We work closely with our Scouts BSA Troop 163 and Scouts BSA Troop 2163 to serve the students of John Sinnott Elementary School, Alexander Rose Elementary School, Merryhill Elementary School and the surrounding communities. Students from any school are welcome. In fact, we currently have students from Burnett, Challenger Berryessa, Crescent Montessori, Curtner, Galarza, Majestic Way, Mattos, Merryhill, Noble, Northwood, Orchard, Randall, Sinnott and Stratford Milpitas.
Our Approach
The mission of the Boy Scouts of America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. The pack contribute to the character development, citizenship training, mental and physical fitness of our young leaders. The cub scout motto is “Do your best.”
In addition, Pack 163 is family oriented and family led. We believe we can build a stronger pack by being inclusive and utilizing the diverse talents, knowledge, resources and cultures of our scouting families and, therefore, offering the best scouting program possible.
