Webelos Welcome!

(Families, too!)

Oct 18, 2026

​

This October…

On a mountain just outside Walnut Creek…

Something is stirring.

They’re big! They’re hairy! They're really creepy!

 And now…

THEY’RE COMING.

​

Hundreds of eight-legged creatures are crawling across Mt. Diablo …

​

And for reasons no one can adequately explain…

TROOP 818 IS GOING TO FIND THEM.

​

Join us as we venture into the wilds of Mt. Diablo in search of the legendary California tarantula.

​

Are YOU brave enough to…

​PICK ONE UP.

​

Meet the Scouts and adult leaders of Troop 818, learn about these amazing creatures, and find out what Scouting is all about.

AOL and Webelos Scouts are invited.
