A short-term camp is any council-organized overnight camping program, whether one-time or continuing, that is one, two or three nights in length where the council or its agents provide the staffing and program and may provide food services, and includes camps conducted off council properties.  

All council, district coordinated overnight events that are three nights are less (e.g., camporees, Webelos Scout events, training) are required to have one trained short-term camp administrator to ensure safe and quality outdoor programs. Contact the council's program service department for STAT (Short-Term camp Administrator Training) dates. This person is responsible for ensuring that the planned camp complies with the NCAP Short-term Camp Standards.  This means walking the property to ensure that it is appropriate for the event; ensuring that paperwork is filed and any written BSA approvals are completed and obtained through the council; confirms facilities and program are safe and in good order before starting operation; and that appropriate health, safety and sanitation provisions are made.  This individual also ensures that all activities at the short-term camp comply with the applicable BSA National Camp Standards. This individual is selected by the district committee to take the training.
