Volunteer Opportunities
Cub Scouts: Volunteer Den Guides are a vital part of the camp staff. Volunteering gives parents an opportunity to share in the camp experience with their Scout. Volunteering also reduces the camp fee for each week you volunteer. Den Guides work with the staff and a den of 10-12 Scouts for the week. Volunteer Den Guides will be required to attend a mandatory training session in the Spring.
Scouts, BSA: Our scout resident camp program is always on the look out for volunteers as well. Is your scout attending a Provisional Week? Volunteer to be an assistant Provisional Scoutmaster and your scout attends for free. We are looking for volunteers to help our medical and kitchen staff too.
