Camp
is 100% volunteer run! We need volunteers for a successful camp!
Adult registration open--go
to registration
page
 Want to have fun, learn a few new things, work with girls or with other adults,
or make some friends? Many of us take time off of our full-time jobs to come to
camp. Parents do not have to be Girl Scout Leaders to help at any of the camps.
Day Camp Training is available. Plan ahead and join us at camp this summer!
We are looking for adults age 18+ and Aides (high school age) to be counselors
for all day camps.
All adults who work with
girls in our Council must complete our Council's adult volunteer
process. If you are a Girl Scout leader in good standing with our
Council you have already completed this process. If you are new to Girl Scouting or this Council, please complete the
Volunteer Position Application
at the Council website. This is a one-time
app required of all persons working with girls.
The process includes:
- Complete a GSCNC Volunteer Application (this is not the same as
the camp registration)
- Complete a 2-hour home-study course called (100A Introduction to
Girl Scouting for Resource Volunteers) OR the 3.5 hour Basic
Leadership Training (101).
- Bus Stop Monitors need to complete the
Volunteer Position Application,
but do not require training.

Specials
Activity can last one hour, 1 day, or more, but usually less than the week.
Time is spent on site working directly or indirectly with campers. You may
do a demonstration in your subject expertise area, lead a center for the
day/morning/hour, or perform for the camp or a specific group.
- Center
Special
- on the spot topic - past camps have had a person come in to work with
Brownies on a science kit for the day; one led special craft activities for
all groups for the day; one showed a movie on a special screen in the field;
sailors from a local boat talking to teens; and a few have presented a demo just in the
afternoon to one age level.
- Performer - present a "show" to
campers lasting 30-90 min. To give you an idea on some of the experts
we've had: a mime, a one-man song & dance show, a couple guys singing
sea chanties, a Native American show, a musician from Williamsburg, state police
K-9 dogs, Scales & Tales from MD DNR, and a jazzercise instructor.
- Bus Chaperones - ride the bus from
first stop to camp, and camp to last stop. May help, or not, during
camp day. Help keep order on the bus ride. You'll need to
register, including health form, if you want to help with this job.

Other Camp Helpers - These
helpers do not necessarily attend camp during the day, but help at other times, or before
and after camp. These positions require an Adult Camp
Registration form only, if not helping at camp in another area.
- Admin Assistant: Help sort, pack, and
distribute camp materials for camp units and centers before camp starts.
Should be located near enough to the camp directors to receive items.

Bus Stop Monitors
(pdf format) job description - You are at the bus stop both morning
and/or afternoon to help campers get on the bus, take attendance before the bus
comes, and make sure each camper is picked up in the afternoon. This
allows the bus to stay on time and the parents to know their child is on the
right bus.
- Camp set up/take down:
Help put up tents, tarps, tables, and other equipment required before camp
starts. Help take down all equipment and put away on last day of camp
at end of day.
- Swap Person: Arts and crafts people,
here's your chance. Research and make some sample camp theme swaps.
Present samples to counselors during training to show them some cool ideas.
- Other - pick your favorite interest or
hobby. Let us know and we'll see if it can be included in camp.
