 Dates to Remember

Welcome to Heritage Reservation Staff

There are several things that you need to accomplish before arrival at Heritage for the summer. Please pay close attention to the items listed here and make sure to complete all that is applicable to you and your position. We look forward to seeing you all at Heritage in June, prepared for the summer.

Paperwork

All paperwork is due to Flag Plaza, Attn Michael Crane, three weeks from the date of your offer letter. The first batch of paperwork is due May 15th, 2011. Your offer of employment expires after three weeks, so make sure your forms are mailed back by then! Most forms are fillable PDFs and all forms can be downloaded via this link.

Pittsburgh Scout Shop Discount - Summer Camp Staff

As a summer camp staff member you can receive a 25% discount at the Pittsburgh Scout Shop on personal uniform items.  Let the Scout Shop staff know when you check out and they will apply the discount.  This can be used throughout your employment with the Laurel Highlands Council. This is not a one time discount coupon.

Wants / Needs Lists

Area directors should talk with their staff and develop a list of wants and needs for the opening of the camp season. If there are any items you will need throughout the year, let us know so we can purchase in bulk. All lists should be completed and turned in to your Camp Director, Program Director and Assistant Reservation Director no later than May 15, 2011.

Online Training

There are several online training courses that are required in addition to the training at staff weekends and staff week. Please have a close look at the chart and see that you complete what is required for your position. Most of these courses take less than an hour but the Boaters Safety Course is several hours long so prepare your time to be completed before camp.
