About Us
With a rich history of Scouting that dates back to 1916, the Golden Gate Area Council (GGAC) serves the Northern California Bay Area communities of San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, Napa, Lake and Solano Counties and supports more than 700 local packs, troops, teams and crews. The Golden Gate Area Council was formed June 1, 2020. The Council Headquarters is located in Pleasanton, California near the 580 / 680 junction with a satellite office in Alameda.
