Q: What is Pack 23?
A: Pack 23 is the Cub Scout packs for elementary school students from Suffern, Sloatsburg, Tuxedo and the surrounding areas. Our pack strives to offer a quality program where young kids can learn respect, discipline, develop physically and mentally, take on character development and life skills and most all - Have FUN!
Since 1950, Pack 23 has served students in the Suffern area, and in recent years comprised students who lived in the Montebello and R.P. Connor school zones. In 2023, Pack 23 merged with Pack 94, and grew to serve students who were zoned to Viola and Cherry Lane elementary schools. In 2024, Pack 23 teamed up with Pack 2146 to serve all K-5 students living in Tuxedo and within the entire Suffern Central School District. Pack 23 is now the principal pack for the area following the disbanding of Pack 2146 in 2026.
