Event description

Logo with the words Cane Quest Braille Institute showing an unfolding cane. Each segment of the cane is different color.

DSB is thrilled to collaborate with WSSB to host the Washington State Regional Cane Quest!

This year’s Cane Quest is an orientation and mobility competition designed for Scouts (grades 3 - 6) to demonstrate proper travel techniques and white cane skills. The program encourages students to continuously develop their O&M skills, which are fundamental to self-determination and independence.

All contestants will receive a certificate of participation and earn prizes as they successfully navigate the route.

This event is Family Friendly with sibling and family programming!
