Cub Scouts Pack 23 Elmhurst, IL

Who We Are

Cub Scout Pack 23 is open to boys and girls (K - 5th grade) from any area school, but is mostly made up of Lincoln, Jackson, and Jefferson Elementary School students. Most meetings are held at Epiphany Lutheran Church, which is our sponsoring organization.

Pack 23 is organized into separate Dens by grade level. With their Dens, scouts learn new skills while progressing to their next rank and earning various awards. They learn how to do their best for themselves and for their family, friends and community.

Key to Our Success

To support the planning and execution of a successful Cub Scout Pack, it takes engaged parents/guardians. In Pack 23, we have parent volunteers that help with all stages of the program. Our families are engaged and support their scout by attending meetings and volunteering when needed. We know everyone is busy and we operate with a “it takes a village” mentality. From carpools to chaperones, we work together to provide a great experience.

We encourage you to join us. Email us today!
