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.

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.
