All the areas of our camp need adult supervision. We are asking adult volunteers to serve as a commissioner for a week. This is volunteer service to the camp and the troop.

Commissioners may stay with your unit or in a spot provided by the camp, but they will have responsibilities during the day other than their troop.

All commissioners will receive camp patches and a special camp commissioner patch.

All commissioners report to the Lead Commissioner, a seasonal employee who works with the Camp Director, works for multiple weeks if not the whole summer, and is part of the Key 3 of the camp.

All commissioners will also help serve meals.

Merit Badge Commissioners - These provide adult supervision in the merit badge areas of camp and work with the Area Director.

They may help with instruction, but do not have to do so. They will work in the same area all week. Adults with specialized skills or certifications, such as NRA or aquatics, are very appreciated.

Maintenance Commissioners - These work with the Ranger and the Quartermasters to make repairs around camp. They may be asked to work in a specialized area, such as Aquatics.

Campsite Commissioners - These are the people who work with the units to help them solve problems. If space is available, campsite commissioners may be offered a cabin or large tent with power.
