Campmaster Corps

In the late-1990s the Camp Lowden Campmasters Corps was formed. Campmasters are a group of Scouters who give their time to help out by operating Camp Lowden on the weekends so the camp ranger can assume other responsibilities. Ideally, each weekend should have at least one campmaster.

Campmasters must have a record of demonstrated ability to get along with people, to lead, and to act in an emergency. Campmasters must have a working knowledge of Scouting, troop operations, Scout advancement, and Webelos Scout camping. Basic Campmaster duties include:

Check units in and out of camp
Serve as a “friendly face” and central point of contact to act as camp liaison for units
Perform periodic site visits to ensure that all needs of the unit are met satisfactorily
Render commissioner-type service to the units in camp, working with and through the youth leaders and adult leaders
In event of breakdown/mechanical emergency know where to turn off problem
Advise the Ranger of any potential problem or safety issues

Campmasters select their own time and frequency of service (minimum of twice each year).

Whatever time you may be able to give would be greatly appreciated. In doing so, we will all benefit by preserving the camps for future generations of youth to enjoy.
