The campmaster corps is a group of selected, trained, and registered Scouters who serve at council weekend camps whenever any group is using a council camp property. Campmasters select their own time and frequency of service, but usually serve two to four times a year. The group is organized under the leadership of the council camping committee. The entire project and its personnel are responsible to the director of camping. The corps generally meets twice a year to evaluate its program, schedule ahead, and arrange for the training of any new members.

Campmasters are selected on the basis of their ability in several areas: outdoor skills, specialized knowledge of nature and conversation, and leadership skills. All campmasters must have a record of demonstrated ability to get along with people, to lead, and to act in an emergency.

All campmasters must have a working knowledge of Scouting, troop and team operations, Scout advancement, and Webelos camping. Experienced and registered Scouters, with the exception of unit leaders, are eligible for consideration as campmasters.
