      camp usage

      By Eagle94-A1 · Posted

      I do not know, nor care about my local summer camp, despite being a former staffer. It was not a great experience as a staffer, and was worst the only time I went there as a camper. I cannot recommend it. And it has gotten worse since I went from folks who have been recently. IMHO, and that of many others, it is the camp that should have been sold. especially since any time there is a major storm, there is a lot of damage to the camp due to its location. Now the local council camp that was sold was a different story. Because of it's location, folks from 3 councils used it. Heck I remember trying to plan a district event, and the prime weekend was booked by another council for their district event! Also because of it's location, units travelling up and down the East Coast would use it. I do not know the attendance stats on capacity and usage. But I do know the camp made enough to pay all its bills year round AND support the summer camp. That camp actually made money for the council.

      New Induction Ceremony

      I think this is an important point, "hadn't been in unit-level positions in 2+ decades". There is another part of this, the unit level leader without current or any historical experience at the district or council level. I got "in trouble" recently when I failed to constrain my voice. A unit leader who has never been a district or council level volunteer wanted to know "why our district sucks so much and never helps the units" and I just blurted out in response at the meeting "who the F@#$ do you think the district staff is and where do you think they come from?" which apparently this dude, who supposedly has been involved in scouting for 40+ years though the district committee was a paid staff of professionals.
