Many weekends throughout the year, packs and troops enjoy camping at any of the 15 camp properties in Cascade Pacific Council.  To maximize Scouts’ experience, Camp Hosts play a welcoming and service role at many camps. Camp Hosts typically serve two to four weekends annually.  

Camp Host duties include:

• Check-in with camp ranger, collect weekend keys and notes about any special circumstances
• Welcome troops and direct them to campsites
• Collect unit rosters from every visiting unit
• Remind campers of camp rules as needed to ensure safety for everyone
• Return keys, unit rosters, and any reports to the camp ranger before departure

Camp Host benefits:

• Free weekend camping for the host and his/her family, often in cabin housing
• A wonderful feeling of service as you help Scouts and leaders enjoy the camp!

Requirements to be a Camp Host:

• Be age 21 or older.
• Be a registered adult in Boy Scouts of America.  Renew annually to retain host status.
• Complete Youth Protection training.  Keep current to retain host status.
• Have current first aid / CPR with AED training.  Renew as required by training agency to retain host status.
