2024 Read Renegade Application
The Read Renegades (previously known as CIT's), are a crucial group of people who make the Curtis S. Read Scout Reservation an excellent summer experience for Scouts. As a Renegade, you will do everything from being part of a campfire to helping the Ranger in a service project to assistant teaching merit badges in program areas. You will participate in various training sessions that cover information and skills which are crucial in becoming a future staff member.
Read Renegades are required to serve a minimum of 2 weeks, and welcome to stay with us for the full 5 weeks. A one-week Scout Participant payment will be required (whether serving 2 or 5 weeks), as Renegades are encouraged to take part in Advancement while at camp, often done so with their troop. All room and board are covered by this fee while you are with us.
