There is something magical and undefinable about being a member of our camp staff. For 60 years, this camp has changed hundreds of thousand lives; including the over 2,000 staff members. The volume of impact is immense and enormous. The staff dedicate themselves, time and time again, to ensure that Ransburg is a beacon of Scouting Spirit, a place that every Scout becomes a better version of themselves, where failure is a starting point and not an ending, and where all are welcome. To all of the staff from 1966-2026: THANK YOU for making a difference. THANK YOU for devoting your time, energy, and enthusiasm to Scouts. THANK YOU for believing in our mission.

HAPPY 60th Anniversary to you all!

Yours in Scouting,

Chris Myers
Camp Director
