Each year, partial Scout camp fees are awarded to those boys who wish to go to camp but are unable to pay the full cost of camp. This money is given in return for some form of service to the school, to the church or synagogue, or to the boy's chartered institution.

To participate, the Scout must:

1) Identify a "good turn" work project. This should be a project of the boy's own choosing. Unit service projects, such as Scouting for Food, do not qualify, nor do service projects completed as part of a Scout's advancement program. The project should involve a significant number of hours and effort on the boy's part, appropriate for his age.

2) Secure his Scout leader's approval that the project is worthwhile.

3) Fill out this Campership application.

4) Complete the project he has agreed to do to the satisfaction of his unit leader.

5) The unit leader is responsible to see that the project is completed and will verify project completion at camp.

Camperships can be awarded for up to 50% of the early program fee. Camperships are awarded strictly on the "honor system". The program is designed to help a low-income youth who could not otherwise afford to go to a camp program.

Applications should be submitted no later than March 1st. Applications may be received after March 1st, however, they will not qualify for the maximum amount.
