Broad Creek offers a Counselor-In-Training (CIT) program for Scouts who will be 15 years of age by June 1st, 2021. Applicants must be registered with an active Boy Scout Troop, Explorer Post, or Venture Crew. During your session as a CIT you will experience assignments in all areas of camp operations. This is an opportunity to find out if summer camp staff is for you, and what area you are best fitted for. Preference in selecting camp staff for future years will be determined by successful completion of your training and the CIT experience. CITs are volunteers, but will receive free housing, food, and camp experience as part of the program. CITs also receive second-year pay when they enter their first year of being a paid staff member.
The CIT program encourages Scouts to attend summer camp with their unit. However, the CIT must be available for staff week, and a minimum of at least two additional program weeks (total of 3 weeks during the summer camp season). Working the entire summer is a possibility if you are interested and the Camp Director approves of you staying.
As a CIT, you will follow the rules and regulations of the camp at all times. These rules and regulations are defined in the staff manual that you will receive. Scouts interested should submit a staff application and complete an interview.
