Sailing captains needed for camps

The Montana council of the Boy Scouts of America Montana Council has as one of their summer camps, Melita Island on Flathead Lake. Every summer the island is host to hundreds of Scouts from all over the United States for a period of five weeks of camp. The camp provides training in scouting skills as merit badges or rank advancement. Many offers are related to aquatics and the water. All about sailing, canoeing, motorboating, fishing, water skiing, and others. In order to fulfill the adult sailing cruises, the council needs competent sailing captains. Experience in sailing and handling a boat of 20 to 25 feet is necessary. Boat Captains may use their own boat for this providing it is over 20 feet. Slips and moorings are available. Volunteers spend a week at camp and are compensated with a tent to sleep in, meals every day, and a good time helping the Scouting program. Summer camp begins July 8 and continues for 6 days a week until Aug. 12. Any sailor or sailboat captain is interested in this opportunity, please call: 406-250-7004
