Short Introduction
The month began with the Club Penguin Armies‘ third anniversary celebrations. After that, the CPA Olympic Games started, with several armies participating in them. They lasted for the whole month and are still ongoing. Legends Cup XV was announced and the Qualifier and Semi Final rounds happened. On July 31, CPA reached 100 posts, ending up having 105 before the month ended. In the community, there were several events, with armies opening and others shutting down, people being promoted to leadership positions and others stepping down.
CPA Anniversary
They included a week of challenges. Each day, a new challenge was released, with the community members trying to complete it. The challenges winners earned a role in the CPA discord server. Additionally, on July 1, the 3rd anniversary art contest results were announced. The winning submissions were set as the server icon and server banner for a few days to celebrate the event.

Olympic Games
The Olympic Games were innovative, as each army participated separately against the others. It was a new concept and was enhanced with both a points system and a map. This required the armies to be more careful when completing tasks and gave a strategic taste to the Games. Currently, the Army of Club Penguin has a large lead, with the Help Force following them further behind. At the time of the post, twelve armies are participating in the Olympic Games. The quests include a large variety of categories and aim to help armies in their battles and their overall performance. So far, the Community Committee has published twenty-six quests.

Legends Cup
On July 6, CPA announced the Legends Cup XV, with its theme being the casino. There were thirteen armies participating with the Qualifiers happening on July 19 and July 20. The Quarter Finals and Semi Finals matchups were determined with the use of the Wheel of Names. The community seemed to enjoy this twist that made the matchups unpredictable and more interesting. The Quarter Finals happened on July 26 and 27. With the wheel being spun on the latter day, in a crowded Voice chat in the CPA discord server, in order to determine the Semi Finals matchups.
Additionally, while the tournament is ongoing, several rooms in CPA: Battleground have been updated to match the tournament theme. A custom room was also added, the Casa Fiesta, with many of the tournament battles happening there.

A new milestone
In July, the Club Penguin armies managed to get the most posts in a month since the beginning of the organisation. The previous record was set in June 2024, with 91 posts being written. This year, not only did we break the record, but we also managed to get more than 100 posts, reaching 105 to be precise. It is a feat that hasn’t happened in the past several years by any organisation. It is something that we wouldn’t be able to accomplish without our reporters and editors who put up a lot of work.
Post distribution
There were many types of posts. There were 5 announcements, mainly the tournament and Olympics ones. 16 tournament posts, which were mainly related to the LCXV. 5 battle reports from the various practice battles that happened as there were no wars throughout the month. A breaking news post, featuring the Doritos shutdown. 3 shutdown ones, with DCP, Boxmen of Boxland and Valiant Azure Knights shutting down. Contrarily, there were 2 armies coming back from the dead, the Dark Warriors and the People’s Imperial Confederation.
13 columns were posted, consisting of Penguin Puzzlers, Leaving A Legacy, Advisors’ Advice, which is a new column, This Day In History and Lead The Way. Also, our Cartoonists designed 2 comics which were posted. During this month, there were 15 opinion posts and editorials, with many of them being very interesting. In addition to that, there were 8 satire posts that gave people a laugh. The post consisted of 53 news ones, with 8 of them being about promotions and 3 about retirements, showing that July was a busy month for the community. The month was also a very creative one, given that 6 stories posts were written, with the first story for the 2025 being posted on this month.
Finally, 5 Top Ten armies posts were posted and a top 5 moments. Two extra two extra Top Tens, Top Ten Active Armies and Top Ten Yappers.
