The CPC Scouting Expedition
Welcome to The Scouting Expedition Podcast, courtesy of the Cascade Pacific Council of the Boy Scouts of America This is more than just a podcast. It’s an adventurecast! Here, we’ll share stories and insights about the lifelong adventure, real-world grit, and personal growth only found through Scouting here in the Cascade Pacific Council. We’ll have guests here indoors but also head outdoors to meet those that make the Scouting Expedition come to life for thousands of local youth here in Northwest Oregon and Southwest Washington. Each episode will start with the latest news, reminders, and important deadlines for our families, Scouts, leaders, and volunteers, so you can just take a quick listen or watch in a way that’s convenient for you. Then, we’ll dive into the topic of the day. So let’s get started…

On this episode of the CPC Scouting Expedition Podcast, we take a deep dive into the Safeguarding theme of our Strategic Plan. Our guests today are Becky Mehringer, Chair of our board's Safeguarding Committee, and the CPC's Chief Safeguarding Officer, Emily Whittle-Perkins. Emily is also the only council-level Chief Safeguarding Officer across Scouting America.
Other podcast episodes will focus on the other key themes from the plan, including:
Goal-Driven Membership Growth
Mission-Driven Philanthropy
Thriving Unit Programs
Best-in-Class Unit Service
High-Impact Brand Revitalization
Our goal is transparency, and we hope you will join us on the trail to becoming the most impactful youth program in the Pacific Northwest.
Special thanks to the entrepreneurial go-getters, business professionals, and Scouting-centered strategists on our Board who have joined forces with CPC staff to build a Strategic Plan that will keep us aligned and laser-focused from now until January 1, 2030.
