Financial Assistance for GMC Camping Programs

Thanks to the generosity of donors, Green Mountain Council has a designated financial assistance fund for youth in need. Throughout the year, grants are made from this fund to ensure all youth have the opportunity to experience the excitement of our camps.

GMC is committed to equity and inclusion and ensuring that all youth can access the proven benefits of its programs and camps regardless of their financial circumstances. For this reason, financial aid is awarded primarily on a need basis. Funding constraints typically do not allow for the Campership Committee to grant individuals more than a third of the program/camp’s total cost. Throughout the year, GMC supports several product sale opportunities to help Scouts earn their way, and participation in these sales is a factor in the financial aid selection process.

How to Apply

To apply, complete and submit the Online Application Form. The application deadline for summer camping programs is April 15. Award decisions will be made and reported to families no later than May 30. Applications for assistance for other Council camping programs should be made forty-five (45) days in advance of the event.
