Camp Aides & Staff Members

 Last updated on: 01.16.12  

Camp Aides:

     Boy Scouts of any age & older siblings, who are at least 11 years of age, are invited to volunteer as a Camp Aide.  Service hours will be recorded and a letter providing proof of service given at the end of each Camp session.  If an adult attends camp on Staff or as a Den Leader for the week, older siblings, between the ages of 11 and 14 years may also assist their parent as a Camp Aide. (click here for the Camp Aide Job Description)

Staff Members:

     All Camp Staff Leaders are required to attend a Camp Leader training session prior to Camp.  In addition, each adult must also have taken a Youth Protection training course.  Any 5-day parent who is not currently a "Scouter," may still be a Staff Member at Camp as long as they have taken these two required trainings.  Anyone preferring to work as a Staff Member on the ranges (archery or BB) will need additional training. (click here for the Staff Member Job Description)

     Staff responsibilities include preparing an initial and final inventory of the materials needed/utilized within their station, preparing for each period’s activity, promoting a positive and instructive atmosphere for the Scouts at their station and guiding/supervising the Camp Aides assigned to their station.

     When registering as a Staff member, please indicate the position that you would prefer.  Staff will be assigned on a first come, first served basis.  When each Camp station area’s Staff is accounted for, those positions will no longer be available and discounts for that adult’s Cub Scouts, Girl’s Camp Experience, and Kids Korner attendees will not be available, unless they accept another 5-day position.

Training for camp:

Range Staff:
Join us on one of the following training dates if you will be working at one of our ranges. Saturday, ???th from 8:00am to 4:00pm Saturday, ???th from 8:00am to 4:00pm At Anne Arundel County Fairgrounds in Crownsville. (Please use back entrance, off of Crownsville Rd.) Upon completion of this course, you will be certified to operate BOTH Archery & BB Ranges!  Attendees must be at least 18 years old.
Staff Members:
Anyone signing up to be a Den Leader or a Staff Member at Day Camp must attend one of the following trainings held prior to the start of camp. This training goes over the Volunteer Manual, Emergency Procedures, Health & Safety, and Camp Rules.

PART ONE
Meeting for Session I:      Thursday, ???nd at 7pm at Glen Burnie United Methodist Church      Wednesday, ???th at 7pm at Glen Burnie United Methodist Church
Meeting for Session II:      Monday, ???th at 7pm at Glen Burnie United Methodist Church      Tuesday, ???th at 7pm at Glen Burnie United Methodist Church
Each Den Leader and Staff Member is expected to attend a short meeting/training session to learn the volunteer manual and emergency procedures.  Training should last about 1  hour. If you cannot attend one of these training sessions, please contact our Camp Director.

Camp Set-Up/Tear-Down:

     We ask that as many people that can, come.  The more we get set-up during at this time, the less we will have to do the first day of Camp.  This will have things move more smoothly and make the Camp more enjoyable for you and your children.  Set-up will start at 10:00am on both days.  Parent Orientation will begin at 2pm, the same day as set-up.  T-shirts can be picked up at this time. Camp Aide Orientation will begin after the 2pm Parent Orientation.  Camp Tear-Down is similar.  Our camp needs to leave the Anne Arundel County Fairgrounds the Sunday after; as per our contract with them.  The more helpers we have to accomplish this, the better the result.  The camp needs to get packed up in a timely fashion; making it easier to set-up camp the following session and the following year.  Your help is greatly appreciated.

Set-up for June Session:  June 16 & 17, 2012
Tear-Down for June Session: June 23 & 24, 2012

Set-up for August Session: August 4 & 5, 2012
Tear-Down for August Session: August 11 & 12, 2012

Camp Uniform:

     Each Camp participant is required to wear the official camp t-shirt everyday.  Our Camp involves a lot of walking.  We advise that every participant wear an older pair of sneakers (with socks) daily.  The Scouts will be exposed to sprinklers with may soil/ruin a new pair of shoes!  There are no sandals allowed in Camp... not on Cub Scouts, Camp Aides, or Adults.  Anyone wearing sandals will need to leave the Camp site or sit in the Administrative Area until appropriate footwear is provided. 

Lunch/Water:

     Due to program timing demands, all Staff members and Camp Aides are invited to receive a daily complimentary lunch and beverage.
