Live Oak Pack 676 offers exciting adventures and character-building experiences for youth in grades K to 5. We love to Learn by Doing! At Pack 676 we love trying new things and exploring the world around us! We go on adventures like hiking, camping and STEM activities. We earn advancements and make personal progress all while working on character development. A scout is honest, kind and takes on rsponsibliites within their packs and dens. We explore our roles as good citizens and learn community values by working on service projects.
We have dens for children from kindergarten through fifth grade. We typically meet as a pack evening each month at a location near Live Oak or the surrounding Santa Cruz community.
