About Us

Learn about the Pacific Crest Council, Scouting America.

Spanning from the Pacific shores to the Cascade peaks, and from the high desert to the low valleys, the Pacific Crest Council delivers Scouting programs to youth and adult volunteers throughout central and southern Oregon. 

We empower young people to become confident, capable, and compassionate leaders. Our safe and inclusive environment fosters teamwork, personal growth, and community service. With dedicated volunteers and community partnerships, we guide Scouts on a transformative journey, instilling values of integrity, respect, and selfless leadership.

Through outdoor adventures, leadership training, and mentorship, we equip Scouts with essential skills and values to make a positive impact. Together, we build a better future, one Scout at a time.
