2021: The Year of Unknowns
As COVID continued, we showed grit.
In a year of continued uncertainty, thousands of Scouts, families and volunteers did more than just pivot.
They showed grit.
They persevered, taking a 110-year old handbook and recreated Scouting for a new era. Meanwhile, they served their communities, adventured with family and in small groups while growing in leadership and resilience.
Here are just some of the stats and facts that prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that GRIT STARTS HERE. And that GRIT LASTS FOREVER.
What did Scouts in the CPC do during the pandemic? We made masks for healthcare workers, cleared graffiti, earned thousands of advancement awards, hiked thousands of miles with our families and so much more.
Scouts, Volunteers and Families across the CPC continued to serve their community
Scouts collected tens of thousands of pounds of food for families in need during our annual food drive.
Scouts in our National Honor Society (the Order of the Arrow) improved natural habitats, hiking trails and more in the great outdoors.
Scout units Donated thousands of hours to serve communities, honor Veterans and help those in need in our 19-county council.
Nearly 400 Eagle Scout projects were completed, culminating in more than 60,000 hours of community service.
Programs Developed by Staff & Volunteers in 2021
Thousands of Scouts across the USA joined us for small group and family adventures.
The hilarity continued with ScoutQuest 2.0, giving families and small groups of Scouts ways to have fun and connect.
Unplugged and outdoors! That’s what we do best and the Hike, Paddle, Bike challenge inspired Scouts and Families to do just that!

The Future of Scouting
In this new era of Scouting, boys and girls continue to have epic adventures, families will connect while camping on our nationally-recognized properties, and our program will evolve to inspire unparalleled personal growth.
As always, youth who become Scouts in the Boy Scouts of America grow in confidence, character and capabilities that prepare them for career and life. They learn to persevere with a positive attitude and experience exponential personal growth.
They grow in GRIT and are ready to serve while making an impact in their communities that lasts generations.
There are a multitude of ways you can make an impact for generations.
Cascade Pacific Council’s goal is to create a safe, welcoming environment where every youth has an opportunity to belong and where they will have an unparalleled experience in the outdoors. Scouting provides skills that will last a life-time.
