Do you want to spend the summer outdoors? Do you want to teach Scout skills? Do you want to make new friends and have life-long memories? Then you need to apply for summer camp staff. The success of a troop's week at summer camp is many times determined by the quality of the staff. If you are a Scout who will be 15 years old and an Eagle Scout by June 1, then you should apply for camp staff.

Camp staff provides a great opportunity for a young man to broaden his Scouting contacts, improve his leadership skills, and serve the thousands of Webelos, Scouts, Explorers, Venturers, and leaders who attend our camps each year.
