Pack 663 provides scouting activities to young boys and girls in Zion, Beach Park, Winthrop Harbor and surrounding areas. Through those activities we strive to teach boys and girls the principles of scouting through respect for the individual and to develop and use their potential to the best of their ability. Our Scouts like things that go fast! So we offer opportunities like building and racing model cars in the Pinewood Derby, or model boats in the Raingutter Regatta. Our Cub Scouts are fierce competitors, but also excellent sportsmen.
We go hiking and camping. We participate in activities like swimming, climbing walls, archery and BB guns. We toast marshmallows and make smores over a campfire, sing songs and play silly games. We study the natural world and the wildlife that lives in it while respecting the environment and leaving no trace when we go home. All of this we do in the spirit of scouting.
We have fun while learning and building character in every boy and girl who passes through Pack 663. Our adult leaders instill good values in the Scouts while ensuring each is meeting challenges, doing things they like to do and developing strong friendships throughout the year. We encourage Scouts to recognize their duty to God and encourage each and their adult leaders to be faithful in their religious duties. Our cub scouts learn duty to God, country, others and self.
