Around six to nine months before the start of a new camp season, scouts from all over the world apply to join the staff. The Camp Director and the Camp Management select the staff in co-operation with the International Camp Working Group. If there are more applicants than available places, the date of application will be decisive.
Prerequisites for admission to the staff are the above-mentioned requirements and participation in the preparatory seminar. This serves as an introduction to the camp site, to the staff rules, to the natural and landscape conditions (training at the Altmühltal information centre), to the current programme and, above all, to get to know and identify personal interests.
