During a recent visit to Gillette, Wyoming, to tour the International Pathfinder Camporee grounds, we learned that out of the nearly 1,000 volunteers, approximately 200 volunteer tickets remain.
The International Camporee’s success is dependent on volunteers. You can be a part of its success by volunteering for various opportunities: medical, activity, drum and drill staff are key areas where volunteers are needed. You can view available volunteer positions on the Camporee.org website.
They primarily have volunteer tickets for full-time positions. A formal process exists to become an official volunteer and receive your ticket. Volunteers must be 18 or older with legal status in the United States and Canada. You have to be willing to volunteer for approximately 8 hours a day.
A camporee downline director will notify you in advance about what options are available, what to expect, and your expected start and end time for the day. Just because you register to be a volunteer does not guarantee you a ticket. You must go through the volunteer process to be selected by the director of the position you are applying for.
Once you register, a background check will be performed (your must be submitted). Then, someone will contact you to be interviewed. After the interview is completed, the director for that position will determine if you meet the criteria. If you do, then you will be notified that you can purchase your volunteer ticket. Only after this process is completed will you receive your ticket, so make sure you complete your application so the process can move forward as quickly as possible. You can start your application on the Camporee.org website.
