The Campmaster spends the weekend at camp, checks in and out units, acts as the point person for the units during the weekend, and helps provide a positive experience for all our scouts at camp.
-
This allows our Camp Rangers to continue working during the weekends to improve our camps.
-
Campmaster Training is available at no cost.
-
Indoor accommodations are provided for the Campmaster(s).
-
Your Scout is welcome to spend the weekend with you as well.
Here’s how to earn the free campsite(s) for your unit:
-
Any unit, or linked units, who provide a campmaster(s) for 3 full weekends over a 12-month period will earn a free campsite, or lean-to site, at either Durland Scout Reservation or Camp Bullowa.
-
A full weekend for Campmastering is considered Friday 5pm until Sunday 10am (start & finish times can only be altered at the discretion of the Ranger).
-
The 3 weekends can be done by an individual from a unit or a combination of unit leaders.
-
Service time can be from a combination of both Durland Scout Reservation and Camp Bullowa.
-
The free camping site must be used by the end of the camping year following completion of service (e.g.: 3rd weekend is May 2024. Campsite must be used by June of 2025).
-
There are no restrictions on how many free camping sites a unit can earn.
How to reserve your free campsite:
The free camping site or lean-to site can be used any weekend when the camp is open, during a non-event weekend. Please check the availability first for the date and campsite you would like by going to: htps://mycouncil.ghvbsa.org/reservations.
Dates must be booked in advance by sending this information to ghv.camping@scouting.org. We cannot refund fees for your free weekend if you book them yourself online.
