- Friends of Scouting is an annual drive to raise funds for the council.
- Cub-On Camping
- The Cub-On is a great outdoor opportunity for Cub Scout families to enjoy Cutter Scout Reservation. Each family pitches a tent at one of the group sites with their pack and spends all day Saturday and half of Sunday participating in the activities. The only scheduled items are the meals, campfire and a couple of special programs.

The boats vary in construction, but buoyancy is provided by waxed paper milk and juice containers. The barbeque is open to boys and their families who are considering joining our pack.
- Pinewood
Derby
- Each spring we dedicate one pack meeting to racing Pinewood Derby cars. This long-standing tradition in Cub Scouting is a race between carved and decorated, gravity-propelled 7" long cars, three at a time. Our pack uses an electronic timing system, race management software and a projection system to keep everyone aware of race results. Click HERE for official Pack 61 Pinewood Derby Rules for 2008.
- Popcorn Sales Fundraiser
- Each fall, to raise funds for our pack's programs, we sell a variety of popcorn products at local markets and within our neighborhoods. The proceeds help cover our pack's costs, which greatly exceed the annual dues.
- Raingutter
Regatta and Space Derby
- Each fall we spend a portion of one pack meeting racing rockets or sailboats. We alternate these events each year. Our pack has chosen to minimize the competitive aspects of these activities. Instead we concentrate on the shared woodworking and decorating experience, on encouraging scout to "do your best" and to have fun.
- Raingutter Regatta: wood sailboats that are blown by scouts along an 8' rain gutter, two at a time.
- Space Derby: carved balsa wood rockets that move along a fishing line by wound-up rubber bands and a propeller, four at a time.
- Scout-O-Rama
- An annual Pacific Skyline Council event that demonstrates various scouting activities and is open to the public.
- Scouting For Food
- An annual food drive in the Bay Area.
- Sea Scout Cruise, or Cub Cruise (2006 flyer)
- The Sea Scout Cruise, or Cub Cruise, is an annual summertime activity sponsored by our council. The activity involves a scenic tour around the San Francisco Bay aboard the Sea Scouts’ ship.
