Acquire Life Skills at Scout Camp 

Are you tired of doing the same old routine? Did you know that the Grand Teton Council operates 3 Scout camps, a council high-adventure base in Salmon, and two Day Camps? Each of these offers opportunities for a variety of summer camp staff jobs. Most Scout camp staff are at least 16 years of age, but some camps have a few select jobs for youth who are a year or so younger. The Boy Scouts of America is an equal opportunity employer that hires both females and males, as well as people of all ages and ethnic groups, diverse cultures, and mixed abilities.

Why Apply for a Camp Staff Job?

Here are a few of the countless reasons that are frequently expressed:

  • To make lots of new friends in your area, other states, and even other countries

  • To be part of an effective team and to cooperate with others to get things done
  • To learn how to lead others and to apply leadership skills
  • To undertake and fulfill meaningful challenges and to earn the satisfaction of doing a job well
  • To work with youth and adults of all ages

Why work at a fast food or retail establishment that focuses on sales when you can have opportunities like these that will prepare you for more meaningful endeavors?

Each year, the Grand Teton Council invites Scouts and Scout leaders to spend the summer as a Camp Staff member of a summer camp or Cub Scout day camp. The days are long and hard. But the experience and what you see and do can be an exciting time of your life.

As a camp staff member, you will

  • Spend 4 to 9 weeks as a member of the staff of a summer camp receive food, bed, and medical care while in camp
  • Teach Scouts skills and scout advancements

Scout Camping in the Grand Teton Council

Through the year, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, and Venturers camp with their scout units in campsites near their homes. They learn the basic Scout skills and how to live in the out-of-doors.

In the summer, Scouts go to a permanent Camps. These camps have organized programs for the boys where Scouting skills and ideas are presented.

Many things are taught in camp. Some of them are swimming, first aid, canoeing, nature, orienteering, archery, pioneering, camping, hiking, crafts, woodcarving, conservation, and other outdoor skills.

The camp staff puts on this program. The camp staff is made up of adult Scouters and older Boy Scouts. Cub Scouts participate in day camp programs filled with exciting activities for younger boys.

You as a Staff Member

For 1 week before the camp opens, you and the rest of the staff will receive training. You and the other staff members will eat in a dining hall and sleep in a tent or in a small cabin. There is little free time, as the staff works on programs all through the day and evening.

The camp director or camp director's representative will be available to help you with any problem that you may have.
