INSTRUCTIONS TO PARENT/GUARDIAN TO APPLY FOR CAMPERSHIPS:
This fund provides camperships for Scouts from the Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council attending a Silicon
Valley Monterey Bay Council resident, day, or summer camp program. The primary source of campership
funds come from private individuals. These campership donors give out of a desire for every Scout to have an
exciting, quality camp experience. Those wishing to make contributions should please contact the Council
Service Center at (408) 638-8300
NOTE: Campership applications are NOT registration forms for camp, they are applications
for financial
aid. Please give the appropriate camp application with the required deposit to the Council Service Center.
1. Due to the large number of campership requests, only youth who are registered in the Silicon Valley
Monterey Bay Council and are attending a Silicon Valley Monterey Bay Council camp will be
considered. Only one week of camp per Scout will be granted.
2. May 15
th
is the deadline for all summertime programs. However, because of the processing involved
and because the campership fund committee must approve all requests individually, it is requested that
you send in this form as soon as possible. Two to three months in advance is not too soon.
3. USE ONLY ONE FORM PER SCOUT. More campership forms may be obtained from the
Council Website: , or at the Council Service Center located at 970 West Julian
Street in San Jose, or by calling (408) 638-8300, or by photocopy this application form.
4. Answer every question on the form and please make sure the form is signed.
5. For Cub Scouts attending a camp, please complete the correct camp application along with half of the
total cost due. Please do not pay any further fees until you receive notification.
6. WHAT DO I DO WITH THIS FORM? This confidential information does not need to be shared
with your unit leadership. This application should be mailed directly to the address below. Advise your
unit leader that you have submitted a campership application.
7. Notification of how much the family must pay will be sent to both you and your unit leader. A total
campership is not given. The campership is granted up to cover a portion of the cost of the camp fees,
typically not to exceed 50 percent. The Scout/parent will be asked to make up the difference. Your
pack, troop or crew can sometimes help out. Ask your unit leader how your Scout can sell popcorn or
Scout-O-Rama tickets and pay his way to camp. The form will tell you how to submit the balance due.
8. You must include the camp location, name, and date the Scout is attending camp. If you do not know,
ask your unit leader.
9. As with any program of this type, the donors providing the funds are always pleased when they receive
a thank you letter from the Scouts who have benefited from these funds. Your confirmation letter will
provide the Scout with further information on how to thank our campership donors.
10. Campership applications should be addressed to the SVMBC office at the address below.
