All Camping rentals must have at least two registered adult leaders 21 years of age or over. There must be a registered female adult leader 21 years of age or over in every unit serving females. If a link male and female troop are camping at the same camp, they each need their two-deep registered leader.

All adults staying overnight in connection with a Scouting activity must be currently registered as an adult volunteer or an adult program participant. Adult volunteers must register in the position(s) they are serving in. Registration only as a merit badge counselor position does not meet this requirement.

See FAQ for list of approved adult registration fee required positions. (Exceptions for Cub Scout Programs)
