What is Camp Fire USA?

• Camp Fire USA is a national coeducational youth agency serving boys and girls from kindergarten through high school.

• It's a movement that has met the changing needs of young people and their communities since its founding in 1910.

• It's an organization that helps kids develop self-reliance and self-confidence and helps them make the right choices in today's complicated world.

• Camp Fire USA works to prevent problems with kids.  As a nation, it is less expensive and more effective to build a kid than to repair one.

• Camp Fire USA works to make our world a better place to live.  Camp Fire USA may not solve the problems of the world, but it's helping to raise the kids who will.

Why do kids need your help?

• Young people need to know how to plan, make decisions, solve problems and take responsibility.  Camp Fire USA provides the opportunity to learn these vital skills.

• Boys and girls need to have friends, learn new skills and receive recognition for their achievements.  They need to have fun, too.  Camp Fire USA helps meet all those needs.

• Community service and good citizenship are important traditions in our country.  Camp Fire USA kids see these traditions in action and learn that their personal involvement can make a difference.

• More than ever, today's youth need initiative and self-reliance to get along in the world.  Camp Fire USA encourages these qualities in its members.

• Kids need to know that adults are interested in them.  For some kids, Camp Fire USA is the only place they can find adults who really care about them.

 Why should you get involved?

• Just a few hours of volunteer time each month can make a meaningful difference in the lives of young boys and girls.

• You can share your talents, explore special interests, learn new skills, gain business experience and develop leadership abilities.

• As a Camp Fire USA volunteer, you will be provided with training, materials and staff support.

• You can give service to others, get involved in your community, be recognized for your achievements and, last but not least, have some fun yourself.

• People who volunteer report a feeling of satisfaction called a "helper's high."  You can get this from helping Camp Fire USA kids.

How can you get involved?

• You can choose the time, locations and activities that work best for you.  Some jobs can be done from your home, others take you out into the community.

• Share your special talents, your love of the outdoors, or your professional expertise.  Men and women of all ages and interests are needed.

• Work with adults who govern and manage the Camp Fire USA organization.

• Work directly with Camp Fire USA boys and girls.
