Camp Fire's Commitment to Inclusivity

Camp Fire USA is open to every person in the United States. We are an inclusive organization, open to all races, religions, sexes and creeds, as shown through the national inclusiveness statement that became effective March 1, 1992.

• Nationally established program standards reinforce this commitment to inclusiveness. One of the five standards states, "programs are designed and implemented to reduce sex-role, racial and cultural stereotypes and to foster positive intercultural relationships."
  
  
• Regardless of their origins or locations, all Camp Fire programs follow nationally established standards, philosophy and purpose in order to provide America's young people with the knowledge, skills and tools they need to live happy and confident lives.
  
  
• Camp Fire accepts leaders, volunteers, mentors and employees who pass routine criminal record and background checks with regard to previous work history and references, criminal records checks and driving records.

Camp Fire USA-Samish Council prides itself on our inclusiveness, commitment and being an organization that meets the needs of all children, youth and their families.
