Scouts build and race model cars. Kids get to express their creativity, participate in friendly competition, and explore STEM principles. 

Check out this NASA engineer & Scout dad using science to build the fastest car.

Whether it's a bike rally to learn skills and traffic safety with local bike experts and law enforcement or a group ride at PIR's holiday light show, Scouting's even more fun on two wheels.

The Cub Scout Raingutter Regatta is an exciting race where Scouts build and race their own mini boats, powered only by wind! It's a splash-filled competition that combines creativity and a lot of fun!

As the school year ends, we celebrate the success of Scouts who have earned their ranks. The biggest celebration occurs in March when we honor the Scouts who earn Cub Scouts' highest rank--Arrow of Light--and send them off to the adventure of their BSA troops.

Our Scouts participate in two fundraising events each year. These are great opportunities to raise money to reduce the cost of Scouting and pay for outings and equipment. But they're really opportunities for Scouts to practice public speaking and learn the value of working hard for the things they want to do.

All Cub Scout camping is family camping. This provides a low-stress camping introduction for younger children (and parents).

Our pack typically has a campout each fall and spring. Other campouts are organized during the year by our district and council for those who can't get enough of the outdoors.

Cub Scouts of all ages are introduced to hiking as a way to explore the outdoors, promote physical health, and gain confidence.

Our Scouts learn about the essential items that they should bring with them when heading into the outdoors, as well as good environmental stewardship through Leave No Trace and the Outdoor Code.

Fishing is a low-cost outdoor activity for all Scouts that's safe, fun, and rewarding. Scouts learn patience, connect with nature, and are introduced to wildlife conservation.

Each winter, the pack heads up for a day of tubing and family fun at our council's Aubrey-Watzek Lodge on Mount Hood.

Nationally-accredited 4-5 day summer camps:

• Butte Creek Scout Ranch: a one-of-a-kind Wild West experience -- horseback riding, BB guns, archery, gold panning, and more. (All Cubs and parents.)

• Camp Baldwin: a higher-adventure experience -- Butte Creek activities, plus aquatics and rock-climbing.  (4th & 5th grade Scouts and parents.)

One of the best privileges of being a Scouting family in the Cascade Pacific Council is access to affordable summer family camping at spectacular Camp Clark on the Oregon Coast.

In January, Scouts all over Washington and Oregon help our neighbors dispose of Christmas trees in an environmentally-friendly way.

Each December, our pack joins thousands of volunteers across Clark County to collect food donations for the needy.

Scouts from Pack 424 help keep our community beautiful year-round by participating in several local clean-ups: downtown Camas, Lacamas Lake, etc.

In December, Scouts join volunteers from across the nation to place wreaths on graves of veterans in honor of their service.
