How To Get Involved
Pack 283 is entirely run by parent volunteers. We do need parents, step-parents, and grandparents to help our Pack grow and thrive! We know that many of you want to help, but do not know how or what commitment it might entail. Some of you would like to help on a medium sized initiative, and others are open to long-term volunteering. There are volunteer opportunities of different lengths and commitments that will fit your skills and schedules.
