The Scouting Expedition Podcast

Introducing “The Scouting Expedition Podcast” courtesy of the Cascade Pacific Council of the Boy Scouts of America.
Why a Podcast?
During COVID, we needed a way to spread ever-changing news on an ongoing basis in a way that could be easily digestible for our Scouts, leaders, and volunteers. We launched “Wednesday Webinars” which folks could listen to or watch live (since we were all at home) or recorded. These covered the latest news and a main topic for the week. And we learned a lot: first many folks appreciated the topics and ability to listen or watch “the news” (instead of reading a long newsletter) and, second, we needed to have better distribution that was easier to digest and a better quality product.
What to Expect
This is more than just a webinar or podcast. It’s an adventurecast!
We’ll share stories and insights about the lifelong adventure, real-world grit, and personal growth only found through Scouting here in the CPC. We’ll have guests indoors at the new studio 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.
