National Camping School Overview

The Boy Scouts of America has developed National Camping Schools to support local councils by training key adult personnel in the best or most well-accepted methods of Scout camping. National Camping Schools follow a national curriculum with emphasis on communicating the mission of the Boy Scouts of America and the purpose of Scout Camping. National Camping School certification is granted for a five-season period to those who satisfactorily complete the training. National Camping School offers training for adults registered with the Boy Scouts of America and employed by a local council.


Evening Flag Ceremony is held prior to dinner at the Adirondack Campus, NCS.
The objectives of National Camping School are to:
  • Train and certify staff for key camp leadership positions.
  • Develop a better understanding of the purposes, program, and methods of camping utilized by BSA council camps.
  • Assure more effective and uniform camp staff training in local council camps.
  • Promote year round outdoor camp program opportunities, with application of appropriate safety standards for the well-being of all participants.
