I've added two new albums to the site: one contains photos from the Wood Badge Beading Ceremony held as part of our district Roundtable back on June 12th. The other is set up for summertime activities by our many troops and packs. The first photos added to that are from Troop 22 on a camp out at Honeyman Park.

We need more photos for this album! As your troops and packs go to camp or have other fun activities please take lots of pictures so we can continue to say that we are the best district of them all. Let us know if you want to post your photos yourself or want us to do it for you. You can reach me at mary@mmj-ent.com.

District Dinner this past Saturday was a big success. Thank you to the Silver Beavers, who conducted our flag ceremony - and congratulations to our newest Silver Beaver, Jack Scrivener. The Band followed ably with the National Anthem and God Bless America.

Scott Faunt of Troop 64 delivered a moving eulogy of long-time Scouter Joe Swindel. We were fortunate that Fr. Richard, Pastor of All Saints Parish, was able to join us and deliver the invocation.

The food was delicious and we were honored to have Council President Gene Grant and many District leaders join us for the evening. Our speaker was Eagle Scout/Silver Beaver/Police Commander Tim Sessions, who gave a very inspirational and thought-provoking presentation on the importance of Scouting values to society, and how these values have played a role in his own life.

Pack, Troop and Crew of the Year went to Holy Redeemer (417), Laurelhurst Presbyterian (22) and St. Ignatius (351), respectively, and Jessica Keinberger was recognized in absentia for having received the Council Venturing Leadership Award at Council Court of Honor. Troop 22 Scouts were present and displayed the esprit de corps that has made them so successful.

Steve Miller (49) was our 2007 Scoutmaster of the Year, while our Cubmaster of the Year was Mark Gravengaard (47) and the District Award of Merit was conferred upon Mr. Butch Keepers, whose daughter received it on his behalf.

Other adult leaders were recognized for their accomplishments, including Dan Toyooka, Chris Labuhn and Sharon Bell-Glenn. Troop 420 was recognized for their work with the hospitalized children of Pack and Troop 23 (Providence Fragile Kids' Center).

Special thanks go out our emcee, District Commissioner Joe Carter, as well as our District Dinner Chair, Dr. Earl Wiest. Our compliments to the chefs, Martin Cavinaw and Marty Martin. We are also grateful to the behind-the-scenes contributions of Dan Toyooka, Bruce Woodruff-Biggs, and the Labuhns. Special thanks go to District Photojournalist Mary Wardell and her husband Mark for taking time away from their own Scout Troop (112) to record the evening's events.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of our 2008 Lewis & Clark District Dinner. We look forward to seeing you at our end-of-the-year Roundtable on Thursday, June 12, 2008, at Rose City Park United Methodist Church (58th & Alameda). For those who can't make it - see you at Camp!

Each spring the Annual Eagle Scout Recognition Banquet recognizes the achievements of the Cascade Pacific Council’s finest youth members.

Each new Eagle Scout is invited to a first-class event honoring the approximately 600 Scouts who earn the rank of Eagle Scout rank each year. Eagle Scout is the highest rank in the Boy Scouts of America. Only 3 out of every 100 that join the program achieve the coveted award.

Many famous leaders have earned the rank of Eagle Scout including the late President Gerald Ford, director Steven Spielberg, Oregon Senator Gordon Smith, astronauts Jim Lovell and Neil Armstrong, singer-songwriter Lee Greenwood and adventurer Steven Fossett.

The Eagle Scout Recognition Banquet not only recognizes Eagle Scouts, but also raises money to support the council advancement program and heighten community awareness of some of the successes of the Scouting program.

Todd Construction has proudly presented the event for the past five years. Other corporate and individual sponsorship opportunities are available.

Additionally, one Eagle Scout is honored with a $2,500 college scholarship, while four runners-up receive $500 scholarships. High school seniors who have earned the rank of Eagle Scout and have a minimum 3.5 grade point average are eligible to apply. Application form available to download on this website: see Advancement and Recognition,
Scholarships for details.

For additional details please contact the Council Service Center at 503.225.5748 or by email sstaudinger@cpcbsa.org.

The University of Portland is hosting the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life on our campus this year, and we are looking for some volunteers to set up and take down tables, chairs, etc. for our Relay course. The Relay starts on April 11th at 6pm, so we would need a team of volunteers starting at about 4pm (or whenever they get out of school) and the Relay is 18 hours, ending at noon on the 12th, when we would need volunteers to help us take down the tables and chairs and clean-up around the academic quad/Relay course.

If you have any troops that are looking for community service hours, please have them contact me as soon as possible. It may seem like short notice, and I apologize, but if possible, we would like to have our volunteer crew confirmed by Tuesday of next week (the 8th).

Thank you so much, and on behalf of the Relay for Life planning committee, I really really appreciate your help with this event.

Did you know Cub-O-Ree was held last weekend? This was one of the most unusual ones since it snowed up at Cub World during the activity. Not to mention the fact that it was mighty cold. But those who did come up got to enjoy fun activities:archery, BB guns, knot tying, lassoing a steer and den chief, not to mention a Pinewood Derby. Check out the pictures in the media gallery! ·
