All Star Troops Forming NOW!
Does your Unit have an individual Scout or two interested in attending Summer Camp but you are having trouble finding Adult Leaders who can take the time off from work? The Jayhawk Area Council has openings for two All Star Troops that are now forming. This is also an excellent opportunity for newer Scouts who may have never been camping before or those who prefer camping closer to home.
Camp Jayhawk is providing an opportunity for these Scouts to be part of an All-Star troop. The All-Star troop is a provisional troop with volunteer adult leadership of Scoutmaster-experienced adults. The Scout will have the opportunity to register as an individual Scout, select their Merit Badges and not miss out on making memories at Summer Camp in 2025!
