2027 Tomahawk Counselor In Training
The Counselor in Training (CIT) program at Tomahawk Scout Camp has been designed to develop the future staff members for Tomahawk and to provide personal development for Scouts.
The program is four weeks long. In these four weeks, CITs will learn first-hand the challenge and the fun of being a Tomahawk staff member. CITs have the chance to work on merit badges while assisting the full-time staff in teaching them.
Cost
The total fee for the CIT program is $100. This includes food and lodging for the duration of your stay. $25 is due at the time of registration, while the remaining $75 balance is due on June 1st.

Who can be a CIT?
The CIT program is open to all registered Scouts and Venturers who will be at least 14 years of age during the summer.
How do I get selected?
Anyone interested in being a CIT at Tomahawk should apply and pay the $25 deposit to indicate your interest. We will interview all applicants virtually on December 5th 2026. Once you have applied you will be contacted with a 30 minute interview time on December 5th betweeen 9 AM - 2:30 PM. Following our interview day offers will be extended to those CIT's selected for a spot. If you are not selected your deposit will be returned.
Where will I sleep?
CIT's sleep in the staff tenting area in a canvas wall tent (9'x7'). They usually share this tent with another CIT. CIT's have a cot to sleep on and a wooden deck floor.
What to bring?

Annual Physical Required
Be sure to schedule your annual physical, as it requires a physician's signature. The health form can be found in the documents on this page.
What if I can't attend the entire session?
There is no issue if a CIT needs to leave early or needs to miss a few days. However, CIT's should plan to attend the first week of their session - this week is dedicated to formal CIT training.
