Volunteer for Adult Camp Staff
Does your troop have some extra adults who need something special to do at camp? Maybe you can provide some VOLUNTEER ADULT STAFF MEMBERS this summer. Talk to the adults who work with your troop. See if anyone wants to teach their favorite skill at camp, to boys from your troop and other troops.
Please complete this form and send it to the Scout Office as soon as possible so that the Program Director will know what the volunteer would like to teach and when. We will re-confirm your volunteer staff plans at the ten day out meeting, and announce this to all troops that will be at camp that week.
Adults from your troop may also want to help out at camp in other ways. We always need help with plumbing and electrical work, carpentry, and other camp maintenance. Use the form to tell us about it. If there are questions, we will get back in touch with you.
All participants will be recognized.
