Cascade Pacific Council, Boy Scouts of America
Eagle Scout Association (CPCESA)

What is the CPC Eagle Scout Association?
The Cascade Pacific Council, Eagle Scout Association (CPCESA) is a fellowship of business professionals, civic leaders, volunteers, and Scouting supporters, who have achieved the rank of Eagle Scout and are at least 21 years of age; earned the rank in, or currently reside in, the 18-county area of the Cascade Pacific Council.

Eagle Scouts under the age of 21 are eligible to join as youth members for free until they reach their 21st birthday. Only 4 percent of Scouts ever reach this goal. Oregon Senator Gordon Smith, US Secretary of Defense Robert M. Gates, and retired astronaut James A. Lovell Jr. (Apollo 13) are all Eagle Scouts.
