["How to use worksheet:","Each council should consult with the Council NCAP Chair (for self-assessments & Area assessments) and the Area Team Leader (for Area assessments) to determine which standards are applicable for the specific camp type and programs. Note: not all standards listed on these sheets will be applicable for every camp. These sheets are designed to be flexible and tailored to benefit the local council while preparing for Area or Council self-assessments. They are intended to provide a reference listing of the applicable standards for review at a given camp."]
