-===== Campout Volunteer Roles ===== +
- +
-Campouts involve extra volunteer needs! Here's a list of campout-specific roles that may be helpful. Your group may have slightly different needs, but this will hopefully get you thinking about everything that goes into running a group campout. Having a SignUpGenius as part of your registration process helps with getting enough volunteers for each role. Volunteers can certainly sign up for more than one job over the course of the weekend, as well. Remind your families that many hands make light work! +
