About Pacific Crest Council, Scouting America
Pacific Crest Council, Scouting America (formerly the Boy Scouts of America) delivers Scouting programs across central and southern Oregon, including Bend, Redmond, Prineville, and Madras. It was formed in 2024 when the Crater Lake Council and Oregon Trail Council merged. Girls and boys from kindergarten up join Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturing, and Exploring to build leadership, outdoor skills, and service through local packs, troops, and crews, with summer camp at Camp Makualla on Crescent Lake.
Volunteering looks like
Scouting runs on adult volunteers: den leaders, Cubmasters, and Scoutmasters who lead packs and troops, merit badge counselors who share a skill or career, committee members, and district and council volunteers who train leaders and run events like Pinewood Derbies and University of Scouting. Parents often start by helping their own child's unit. Churches, schools, and civic groups can charter a unit. All adults complete Safeguarding Youth training and a background check.
