BSA International Camp Staff application open

Doing a Gap year in 2020? Interested in working at one of the biggest Scout Camps in the world? Then this is for you! BSA is looking forward to receiving young leaders, between 18 and 30 years of age, from SCOUTS South Africa for the 2020 International Camp Staff Programme.

If you are interested, please find the camp counselor checklist, application form and medical form below. Please note that ALL applications are to be sent to international@scouts.org.za as you will first need to be interviewed by SCOUTS South Africa.

Camp counselors will be paid a salary subject to USA Federal income tax. However, participants are responsible for their own round-trip airline fare, the SEVIS Camp Counselor fee, as well as fees associated with obtaining the J-1 Visa. Applicants must provide a copy of their passport as well as the results of an English language test or signed document from an academic institution or English language school. The medical form should be filled out completely. Tetanus is a REQUIRED immunization.

Please be reminded that you CANNOT APPLY DIRECTLY to BSA, you have to APPLY TO the SCOUTS SA International Committee.

BSA requires SCOUTS SA to conduct interviews with all applicants and to sign the forms of the selected applicants. Send ALL of the requested materials and forms to the SSA International Committee for review the latest by 5 January 2020. Email address is international@scouts.org.za. Applicants will be interviewed and – if selected – your complete application will be signed by SSA and forwarded to BSA.
