Adults, if you are interested in attending camp to help support our Scoutmaster and the scouts, please see Mr. Brian Chase.
Adults roles at camp are assigned in the spring to allow sufficient time to prepare for the week. All help is appreciated. We typically need 20 adults to attend for a successful camp, particularly on the two weekends to help us set up, and we encourage interested adults to join us in the spring to understand the goals of the program and the needs of the scouts.
