"Cascade Pacific Council provides services and youth-development programs to families and community organizations in eighteen counties of northwest Oregon and southwest Washington states. Five key focus areas ensure outstanding opportunities for youth and adult members:
Leadership
Scouting's purpose is to prepare young people for a lifetime of leadership. Our nation will never outgrow the need for thoughtful, responsible leadership. The values and lessons of Scouting will never go out of style.
Achievement
The Scouting experience includes learning valuable skills and achieving meaningful goals. The Boy Scouts of America promotes action—taking initiative to do things that better individuals, strengthen relationships, and support communities.
Character
Through its methods and program, Scouting helps shape and build in youth the many qualities that guide good decision making in life. Scouting's lessons last a lifetime.
Service
The commitment by adults helps build a straight road for our youth to follow into the future. Scouting helps youth of America find—in themselves and in the world around them— more than they thought possible."
