    Pack 633 is an active group of elementary kids and their parents, from Puesta del Sol, Spiritridge Elementary, and Eastgate Elementary.

We meet on most Tuesday nights 7-8pm at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church (2650 148th Ave. SE). Check out our calendar or reach out to cubmaster.pack633@gmail.com for more information.
