Campmaster Opportunities
Volunteer Today
We need your help to be a friendly face, a resource for questions and answers, and hopefully a chance to deliver some special program offerings based on your skills. As a Campmaster you assist in making the program better for our scouts.
Experience is not necessary; we will train you on what to do, what is expected, and we will support you throughout your weekend at camp. For more information, or to sign up for a weekend, please contact Kevin Shea (Camping Assistant).
This is a great chance to have an enjoyable and free weekend at camp. Contact us now!!

Scout Earns EVERY Merit Badge
Congratulations Charlie Mauro!
Charles “Charlie” Vincent Mauro
is an Eagle Scout from Troop 189, in Wantagh, New York. Charlie has the distinct pleasure of being one of the few scouts in the Boy Scouts of America’s history to have earned every merit badge offered by the BSA. This feat accounts for having met all the necessary requirements for 138 merit badges.
The Theodore Roosevelt Council has a rich history including but not limited to being home to the first ever Eagle Scout, Arthur R. Eldred and the Council’s first Commissioner being President Theodore Roosevelt. The scouts of Nassau County are honored to add to its rich history with the recognition of Charlie Mauro and this spectacular achievement.
