Council Campership Application
For
Sam Houston Area Council Resident Camps
Dear Unit Leader and Parents:
All registered Scouts deserve an opportunity to participate in a Sam Houston Area
Council resident camp, Cub/Webelos Resident Camps at Bovay Scout Ranch or a Boy
Scout Resident Camp at Cockrell River Camp, Walter Scout Camp at Horseshoe Bend,
Rough Riders or Winter Camp. This is the “Dream” that the handbooks promise and if
necessary, we want to help it become a reality.
The Campership Funds are administered by the Sam Houston Area Council to assure
that Scouts benefit. It is the practice of the Council that a Scout earns at least a portion
of the camp fee and that the family pays according to its means.
The Campership Fund participates with unit assistance and its support of the direct
camp funding, selling Scout Fair Tickets, participation in the Popcorn Program as well
as being a participant of the Friends of Scouting program.
Please complete in total with the required signatures on the enclosed applications and
returned by April 15 for Summer Camp and by October 1 for Winter Camp.
Thank you for your assistance with this effort and in support of “Leading Youth to
Lifelong Values, Service and Achievement.”
Sincerely,
Brett J. Lee
Boy Scout Program Director
