Eagledad 2658 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Twenty years ago, or so, this forum was in the middle of membership inclusion discussions (debates). Part of the discussion for both sides was rumors of big donors backing away from the BSA. Selling camps for survival was just a matter of time. Barry 1 Link to post Share on other sites
prof 58 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I camped there several times! Nice place. Will be missed. An important item from the article is that Red Wing is one of three camps that the council will divest from. Camps Bear Creek and Wildwood are also to be divested. Sad Day for the CAC 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Sad Day for the CAC I agree Prof. Hate to see some of the old CAC camps be sold off. Spent many weekends on camp outs and Firecrafter rituals at both Red Wing and Bear Creek as a youth and an adult. I feel sad for the scouts who have spent years keeping the scouting spirit alive at each camp. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
