Unit Leaders - The most crucial volunteer for camp is the Unit Leader.  This person spends his/her time at camp working with another Unit Leader and Program Aides to provide guidance to a group of 12-16 Girl Scouts or Tagalongs.  Unit Leader positions are available for the following groups:

• Brownie Units - Girls entering grades 1-3 in the Fall of 2008

• Junior Units - Girls entering grades 4-6 in the Fall of 2008

• PAIT Unit - Girls entering grade 7 in the Fall of 2008

• Pixies/Widgets Unit - Campers age 3-5

• Boys Unit - Boys entering grades 1-6 in the Fall of 2008

Approximately 50 Unit Leaders are needed for the camp session.

Camp Angels - These are the volunteers who are unable to work at camp, but would still like to help out.  Camp Angels have a variety of important jobs such as helping with shopping, loading and unloading equipment, sorting tee-shirts, supervising bus rides and many other essential tasks.  If you can't camp, please consider becoming a Camp Angel!

Core Staff - Mountaindale East wouldn't take place if it were not for the dedication of the Camp Directors and the primary organizers who are known as the Core Staff.  This key group includes the Registrar, Business Manager, Cook, Resource Coordinator, Craft Coordinator, and the Health/Safety Specialist.  Core Staff members meet on a monthly basis to ensure everything at camp runs smoothly.  These positions are appointed by the Camp Director.
