On this episode of the CPC Scouting Expedition Podcast, we take a deep dive into the Safeguarding theme of our Strategic Plan. Our guests today are Becky Mehringer, Chair of our board's Safeguarding Committee, and the CPC's Chief Safeguarding Officer, Emily Whittle-Perkins. Emily is also the only council-level Chief Safeguarding Officer across Scouting America.
 
Other podcast episodes will focus on the other key themes from the plan, including:
Goal-Driven Membership Growth
Mission-Driven Philanthropy
Thriving Unit Programs
Best-in-Class Unit Service
High-Impact Brand Revitalization
Our goal is transparency, and we hope you will join us on the trail to becoming the most impactful youth program in the Pacific Northwest.
Special thanks to the entrepreneurial go-getters, business professionals, and Scouting-centered strategists on our Board who have joined forces with CPC staff to build a Strategic Plan that will keep us aligned and laser-focused from now until January 1, 2030.
