Youth Volunteer Guide

Youth volunteers must be 12 years of age or older

Cub Scout Day Camp is a unique volunteer opportunity experience. You will be working with cubs aged 6-10, in an outdoor camp environment. There are two sessions, Morning and Afternoon, running afternoons on Monday – Thursday and mornings on Tuesday – Friday You are welcome to work one or both sessions. Volunteer hours can be counted for school requirements.

Expectations

Be able and ready to help lead and/or teach groups of young cubs. Come prepared to work hard. You will make new friends, and finish the week with pride in a job well done.

  • There is no mobile phone usage during camp hours.

  • Bring a sack lunch or dinner (or both, if you are working both sessions) and a water bottle.

  • Youth volunteers will be given staff t-shirts, and will be asked to dress in activity-appropriate clothing while on-site. For boys, no cut-off or tattered shorts, underwear may not be visible, and shirts will be required. For girls, this means no skirts (short or otherwise), no yoga pants, and no “booty shorts”, sandals or low-cut or midriff shirts. Bathing suits or swimwear of any kind are prohibited. Overly tight clothing, or clothing with obviously offensive or distasteful slogans or graphics will not be tolerated. Swearing or abusive language is not allowed in any form. This is a G-rated camp.
