Cub Scout Pack 86 · Downers Grove
Growing up is an adventure. Let’s explore it together.
Pack 86 is a welcoming, volunteer-led Cub Scout community for boys and girls in kindergarten through fifth grade—and their families. Here, neighbors become friends as we try new things, lend a hand, and make memories together.
Adventure is better together.
New to Pack 86? Come say hello! Bring your questions and your curiosity—we’ll help your family find its first step and feel at home.

From the Pack field guide
A place for muddy shoes, curious minds, and good neighbors.
We camp, hike, race Pinewood Derby cars, serve our community, and learn useful things by doing them. Grown-ups come along too, so Scouting becomes time families share—not one more place to drop the kids off.
