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.

Wayzata Bike Parade
Friday, July 4th, 10:00am – 11:00am

Join others from Pack 283 and ride in the annual Wayzata Bike Parade. It's like stepping into a Norman Rockwell painting. Follow along behind an antique fire engine along the short parade route and then enjoy treats. The parade is four blocks long and takes less than 20 minutes to walk. Parents can walk along side their children or pull them in wagons. Meet before the parade at the corner of Broadway Avenue and Park Street.
