Camp Staff

Serving as a member of the summer camp staff can be a fantastic learning and growing experience for a young man, and can also be a thrilling summer experience for an adult Scouter. Summer camp staff members have the responsibility for working with the units in camp to provide a high-quality, safe, fun experience for hundreds of campers over the course of the summer.

Staff members must be at least 15 years old prior to employment, be approved by their unit leader and parent (if under 18), and must display talent, patience, Scouting values, and enthusiasm.

If you know of any Scout or Scouter who would make an outstanding staff member, ask them to apply. Get a copy of the 2008 staff application, or you may file one here online. Applications are due at the council service center no later than February 1st.

Counselor In Training

A Counselor in Training (CIT) program will be conducted for all Scouts who are at least 14 years old during their tenure at camp and are at least First Class in rank.

A fee of $50 is required of candidates who are selected to participate in this one-week program.

Upon completion of the CIT program, the Scout may be asked to participate in a second week at no cost. It should be noted that only a few participants are asked to return for a second week.

The CIT program is under the direction of an adult camp staff member and provides Scouts in the program an opportunity to learn additional leadership skills and observe the entire camp operation first hand. Graduates of the CIT program often return in subsequent years to be members of the camp staff. Get a copy of the 2008 CIT application online. Applications are due at the council service center by May 1st.
