Cascade Pacific Council Alumni Association

Subcommittees

There are a multitude of ways you can help reconnect Scouts and grow the community in ways that fit your talents and passion.

Alumni Association Subcommittees

Cascade Pacific Council Alumni Association relies on dedicated volunteers to fulfill Scouting America’s mission to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetime by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

Cascade Pacific Council Alumni Association believes that our alumni volunteers provide the greatest resource to ensuring Scouting remains strong for future generations.

Thank you to all our volunteers – and we invite all alumni to volunteer and share in CPC Alumni Association!

Subcommittees Goals

Our goal with the CPC Alumni Association is connection: to give you a place to stay engaged and get connected to the incredible impact Scouts, volunteers, and alumni like you have on our local communities.

For each position description, the goal is to develop a team consisting of 1 representative from each Alumni group: Young Adult Alumni (mentee), Parent-age individuals and/or Empty Nesters (mentors). The team will have representatives in touch with their respective age groups within the council and districts. This will also enable the Young Adult Alumni have opportunities to be mentor by Parent-age individuals and Empty Nesters. Our Young Adult Alumni are our future leaders.

Many Scouters often serve in multiple roles. The CPC Alumni Association, along with our affiliate groups including the CPC NESA, CPC SBAA, and various council Camp Alumni Association groups, advocate for focusing on a single role. This approach ensures the most positive outcomes for the Alumni Association, our other affiliate groups and provides opportunities for greater individual involvement. Our aim is to achieve success without causing burnout among our volunteers by overburdening them with multiple responsibilities. However, if volunteers want to serve on multiple alumni association committees, they are welcome, but we would encourage them to review their other Scouting commitments.

Please Note: There will be cases in which our volunteer teams will need to take a bigger share of the workload for administrative tasks, and there will be instances where no staff advisor will be assigned to an event or committee. The Council’s Board, Senior Leadership Team, and Officers will be working with each other to make these determinations and ensure that communication about these changes is clear and timely.
