Purpose​
​
Since 1936, the walls of the Canyon have served as the summer home for hundreds of Scouts who have served as members of the Canyon Camp Staff. All who have served on Staff have experienced the special spirit that abides in the canyon. As they departed Camp through the Stukenberg Gates, all of these staff members carried with them the intangible spirit which has subsequently helped them be more productive citizens in the years following their departure from Staff. Each summer, every Staff member has many opportunities to personally nourish the Spirit of Canyon Camp in him or herself and others, by thought and by deed. The Spirit Scholarships are intended to recognize those staff members who most unselfishly have shared their experience, time and skills to make the summer a positive experience for the Scouts, Scouters and Staff members with whom they've worked. In essence - a recipient is recognized for having and for sharing with others, the Spirit of Canyon Camp.
