CLIMBING
The mission of the CPC climbing committee is to foster individual growth through challenge by enabling indoor and outdoor climbing activities within the Cascade Pacific Council, according to the guidelines set out by BSA National committees and the guide to safe scouting.
Climbing is an activity in Scouting that requires specialized training to facilitate outings for your unit. Below are upcoming climbing trainings of various levels for those interested in climbing at different skill levels.

Indoor or Outdoor Rock Climbing
Multi-unit indoor or outdoor rock climbing guided by CPC Climbing Committee. Sign-ups should be by unit, not just individuals. We will provide gear and instruction throughout the day. This is not a merit badge class. Adults who attend but do not participate in the climbing do not need to register. Maximum number of climbers per event is 24.
Units with their own instructors are welcome to request additional instructor and gear support from the Climbing committee for your Unit outing. Please contact Joe Davis at cpc.climbing.committee@gmail.com.
