Hello and welcome to Cub Scout Pack 627!
If you are considering joining Cub Scouts, congratulations! You've made a smart move for your child. Scouting reinforces character concepts like honesty, loyalty, and good citizenship. Pack 627 takes these concepts to heart in our programs. Scouting is a game with a purpose. We at Pack 627 fully enjoy ourselves and are proud to provide a quality, active, and family fun program to families at Woodland Schools across Gurnee, Grayslake, and Wildwood, IL.

Pack 627 is the largest Scouting unit in the Gurnee area with over 40 Scouts involved in our programs. Our size allows us to do a number of things differently than other packs which are typically sized anywhere from 12-35 families. One key difference is that we subsidize a majority of our program events almost entirely from the success of our annual popcorn sales & wreath sales fundraisers. Fees are typically limited to Outings for those attending to cover food & facilities costs. All that is asked is that the scouts & families actively participate, volunteer time to help with events, and do their best to help with the fundraisers or ensure costs are covered.
Pack 627 is a very organized and well run Pack that loves to have lots of fun. Our Pack programs numerous events to give our families every opportunity to balance participation in Scouts with other interests such as sports, clubs, or other pursuits that lead to busy schedules. Our size affords us the ability to ensure that there are always a good number of Scouts that attend these events so everyone can enjoy the activities we provide. All our functions are designed to be family focused and inclusive--all siblings are welcome to join the Scouts at our events and have fun! We have over 20 volunteer adult Leaders in our Pack engaged to deliver these programs, and trained on how best to do so. The large number of active Leaders we have (the largest of any area Pack!) not only ensures we have adequate supervision for our Scouts, but also helps prevent our volunteers from getting burnt out and to ensure a consistency to our programs over the time your Scout will be participating. It is another great aspect of having such a large number of families involved in our program!
Pack 627 holds Pack meetings (with all the grade levels) typically on the 3rd Monday of every month at Woodland Middle School, with Den Meetings (smaller groups of boys and girls in the same grade) held twice each month on a weeknight that fits best with the availability of the families that make up that Den. Cub Scouts is available for children in Kindergarten through the fifth grade to join, and children with special needs can participate at whatever level the parents feel is best for them. We are now welcoming girls into our program as well. Families can join us for events before then with no commitment or cost! Contact us for more info.
