Campership Assistance Program 2026
Philosophy
The Northeastern Pennsylvania Council believes that no Scout should be prevented from attending summer camp because of financial need. We also believe that the Scout should work to help pay a portion of his/her own way to camp. Unless extraordinary circumstances exist, we expect that parents or guardians, and the Unit Committee will also assist in the funding. And while it is not the intention of the Council to completely subsidize a camp fee, we are committed to making the necessary arrangements so that all Scouts can come to camp.
Criteria
- Be a Registered Scout in the Northeastern Pennsylvania Council
- Attending a Northestern Pennsylvania Council Summer Camp
- Demonstrated financial need (which may include official documentation/proof)
- Approval of Unit leadership
