Welcome to Pack 283!

Pack 283 is a Cub Scout Pack in Wayzata, Minnesota. We are chartered by Wayzata Community Church. We were founded in 1944 and are the longest continuously chartered Pack in Minnesota. We currently have over 100 boys in the Pack. The program is open to all boys from kindergarten through fifth grade. Our Pack is made up of boys primarily from Gleason Lake and St. Bart's Elementary Schools. Click the links for more information about Cub Scouting and Pack 283. 

First Time Camper Scholarship

Picture
Due to the strong sales of Holiday Wreaths and Camp Cards, Pack 283 is offering first time Cub Scouts a scholarship for summer camp with a paid adult. This scholarship applies to Cub Scouts who have never been to summer camp before, and only applies to Camp Akela in June, 2013, or Camp Kiwanis in August, 2013.

Don't miss this great deal to share what is sure to be a highlight of your scout's summer. Go to the Summer Camping page for more details, sign up, or pay.
