Outstanding Properties and Camp Programs
Cascade Pacific Council offers members many outstanding camps, and is recognized nationally as a leader in Scout camping facilities and programs. Each summer the council offers ten day camps, six overnight camps, two youth leader training camps, and numerous high adventure offerings. During the 'off-season' when camp is over, the council manages fifteen outdoor properties which are utlized year-round for unit camping, district and council activities, and guest group events.
Ages and Stages:
Our camps are planned to serve specific ages so that boys progress from camp to camp as they grow and their interests change. This progression also gives them a variety of camp experiences from summer to summer. Day Camps operate on a five-year rotation of themes so a boy could attend five years in a row (if he were unable to attend resident camp), and have a different experience each year.
Cub World operates on a two-year theme cycle as many Cub Scouts attend Cub World twice before they move on to Gilbert Ranch.
First Year Webelos attend Gilbert Ranch, which has the same program each year, then move to Adventure Cove as Second-Year Webelos. Boys must be Webelos to attend Gilbert Ranch and Adventure Cove, as these camps are specifically designed for these age groups and physical abilities.
Adventure Cove gives the Second-Year Webelos a full week (five night) camping experience which helps get them ready to join Boy Scouts the following year, and the program is designed to help the Second-Year Webelos start learning basic Scouting skills in preparation for the Boy Scout program.
