Employment Opportunity: SCOUTS CANADA
« on: April 29, 2007, 07:12:00 PM »

Hi All - I'm not sure if this is the proper place for this posting, perhaps it can be moved if need be??

As some of you know, I work for Scouts Canada and we are hiring full-time positions for working primarily at Camp Byng - right on the ocean front in the Sunshine Coast - some camps may be held at Camp McLean in Langley as well.  All positions are residential (you live on camp from Monday - Friday, food and accommodations provided).  I thought what better place to find people who love the outdoors and would enjoy passing on their love and knowledge to youth!  All training is provided.  These positions are full time (40 hours per week) working with youth (Grades 4,5,6,7) - Note: A Police Record Check is required with a clean record a must.
