About the organization

Friends of Pack 463

The official nonprofit name is Friends of Pack 463. Families often know us simply as Cub Scout Pack 463.

A registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization

Friends of Pack 463 is the not-for-profit organization supporting Cub Scout Pack 463. Our pack is part of the North East Illinois Council and serves families looking for a welcoming, hands-on introduction to Scouting.

We are proud to be a Pack serving Northbrook families since 1973 with adventure, learning, and community spirit.

Our work is simple and important: help young people learn by doing, help families build community, and create a safe path into outdoor skills, service, leadership, and confidence.

How we serve

Teach, inspire, and connect.

Teach

Learn by doing

We help Scouts learn by doing, building skills, confidence, and curiosity through engaging experiences.

Inspire

Explore new challenges

We encourage Scouts to explore new challenges, think creatively, and live by the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

Connect

Build community

We bring together families, leaders, and Scouts to create lasting friendships and a strong sense of community.

Pack life

Built around shared growth.

Pack life is built around age-appropriate den meetings, larger pack gatherings, service projects, outdoor activities, and family-friendly traditions like Pinewood Derby, campouts, conservation projects, and community events.

We keep the public website focused on recruitment and general information. Specific child-facing event details, addresses, rosters, and sensitive logistics belong in protected family channels.

Adult leadership

Pack roles and volunteers.

Adult volunteers make the pack work: leading dens, supporting pack meetings, serving on the committee, and keeping the program organized for families.
