2008 Webelos Camp - Greensboro Pack 316
Campership Guidelines
- A Scout must meet one of the following requirements established to receive a campership.
- A signed statement from his school Principal, or authorized school representative, that they qualify for reduced lunches or activity fee waiver, requested by the parent or guardian.
- Minister or employer, sign a statement that the Scouts parents have a financial or medical hardship that would prevent them from being able to pay for one week of Summer Camp, requested by the parent or guardian.
- The campership must be recommended and approved by the Cubmaster, Scoutmaster or Crew Advisor.
The Scout and a parent or guardian can select one of the above options (a or b) plus the approval of the Cubmaster, Scoutmaster, or Crew Adviser. All letters or statements should be attached to the application.
- Camperships will be limited to one campership per year, per youth member who would otherwise be unable to attend (which would include one session off Summer Camp, Webelos Camp or Day Camp program) at the Old North State Council Camp facilities.
- The reasons for the campership are as follows: Single parent family, medical hardship, income hardship, multiple youth from same family, etc. The unit the Scout is registered with, may provide 50% of the funding. A Scout is thrifty, and by being thrifty, the Scout should plan to attend Summer Camp by working prior to camp to provide a portion of the camp fee.
- A $10.00 deposit must be paid at the time the application is submitted for consideration. This fee is transferable, but not refundable. The transfer may only be made to another Scout that is attending on a normal fee basis.
- Camperships approved are not transferable to another Scout attending Summer Camp.
- Forms not properly completed will be returned to the leader of the respective unit and will not be considered by the Campership Committee until completed properly.
- All campership requests must be properly completed and submitted to the Scout Service Center no later than May 15 of the year the request is made.
- All requests will be considered by a Campership Committee of not less than five members of the Camping Committee appointed by the Chairman of the Camping Committee.
- 1Anyone wishing to appeal a decision made by this committee may do so through the Assistant Scout Executive. All appeals will be reviewed by at least two of the following people: Council Camping Committee Chairman, Scout Executive, Assistant Scout Executive, Vice President of Program, or Vice President of Membership.
- 1Scouts and/or units should ask for only the amount of funds actually needed. The Scout Office should be notified immediately prior to the Scout attending camp, if they are not able to attend camp so funds can be used for other needed camperships.
- Keeping with the true Scouting Spirit, each Scout receiving a campership is encouraged to write a
thank you note to the camping committee.
