Would you like to become a Cub Scout?

Cub Scout Pack 633:
Pack 633 is an active group of elementary kids and their parents, from Puesta del Sol, Spiritridge Elementary, and Eastgate Elementary. Pack 633 is open to elementary students in grades K-5, and it's a great opportunity for kids to learn life skills and values, build community, bond with their parents, and do fun outdoor activities like hiking and camping. Experiences from scouting, such as first aid, practicing a positive attitude, and doing your best, will help the kids throughout their lives. We meet on most Tuesday nights 7-8pm at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church (2650 148th Ave. SE). Check out our calendar or reach out to cubmaster.pack633@gmail.com for more information.
