For more than 25 years, the Detroit Grand Prix has been supported by one of the largest and hard-working volunteer staffs in racing.

Back again this Labor Day weekend, August 29, 2008 through August 31, 2008, the Detroit Area Council, BSA and Detroit Belle Isle Grand Prix will provide another unique Scout experience.

Duties

Scouters (Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venturers, Explorers, OA Advisors, and leaders) will have the opportunity to assist with keeping the Grand Prix grounds looking great! Scouts and Scouters that volunteer will help collect and sortcans and bottles during their shift. There are 6 shifts available (Friday through Sunday) to choose from. SCOUT UNIFORM IS REQUIRED.

Scout Opportunities

Volunteering at this event:

• is a great way to earn $$$ for your unit or give back to camperships (for racing enthusiast-this is a great way to see the races and earn money at the same time!)
• is your opportunity to enjoy a weekend of activities (volunteers will receive a 3 day event pass-a $60 value)
• is a great way to get a special limited edition Grand Prix patch

Work Shifts

There are a total of 6 shifts (2 shifts per day):

*Shifts are limited to 80 people. The maximum per shift is subject to change if more volunteers are needed for a shift.

Cub Scout packs, Boy Scout troops, Venturer crews, Explorer posts, and OA chapters can choose one or more shifts to work. Number of work shift spaces are limited and are available through pre-registration only.
