Adopting a Project is a great opportunity to help improve your camps!
Many troops have asked how they can help maintain our properties. The projects have met the volunteer hour requirements for advancement, built skills and created a renewed sense of ownership and enthusiasm within the troop. The projects provided an opportunity for additional involvement among adults.
Maintaining excellent facilities for Scouts and leaders is a top priority for Cascade Pacific Council. Often, though, there are more projects that need to be completed than time and financial resources allow.
Council camps rely on volunteer supported work days and weekends to make camps better for all users. Packs and troops can also take on service projects at any council camp, or help the Adopt-a-Camp project program. A few current projects are listed below:

Painting KYBO's |
The KYBO's (outhouses) at Cub World are in need of repainting inside and out. Ranger Dave may have some funding for this project, but if a group can get paint donated, it would help tremendously. Adopt one outhouse or all seven...they all need to be painted. |

The conduit is in the ground from Golda's kitchen stubbed up at each boxcar and the Med. station. Would need to size and pull wire to each boxcar. This is a non funded project adoptive group would need to secure materials by donation or other means. |
