San Franciso Bay Area Council, Boy Scouts of America
With
a
rich
history
of
Scouting
that
dates
back
to
1916,
the
San
Francisco
Bay
Area
Council
(SFBAC)
served
the
Northern
California
Bay
Area
communities
of
San
Francisco
county
and
Alameda
county.
The
San
Francisco
Bay
Area
Council
merged
in
April
2020
with
the
Mt
Diablo
Silverado Council and the Alameda Council to form the Golden Gate Area Council.
The
headquarters
of
the
SFBAC
was
located
at
1001
Davis
Street
in
San
Leandro
from
2000
until
2021
before
being
sold
by
the
Golden
Gate
Area
Council
due
to
financial
issues.
The
San
Francisco
Bay
Area
Council
maintained
three
nationally
accredited
camps:
Camp
Royaneh
(located
near
Cazadero
in
the
Russian
River
area),
Rancho
Los
Mochos
(located
in
the
hills
south
of
Livermore,
CA)
and
Wente
Scout
Reservation (located east of Willits, CA in the Eel river watershed) which are now part of the Golden Gate Area Council.
