They either secure loans, donations, sell more assets, etc. (some form of cash infusion),  or file Chapter 7.

My tangent - Already discussed probably over a year ago.

Chapter 7 now is a path that few would "financially" want as it makes all the money spent to-date on chapter 11 mostly wasted and restarts another legal spending spree with many, many new complexities.  Different priority sequence for debt holders.  Chapter 11 negotiated third party (insurers, BSA councils, churches) releases that provided a lot of cash become new independent litigation.  

"I think" (my opinion) is that Chapter 7 would reduce the amount injured parties receive and delay the payments for years.

You mean that Summer Camp on steroids that is competing with all the Summer Camps of the surrounding councils?

OH MY WORD! Did you see the prices for their summer camp. And that does not include tents or cots, which are extra. My Scouts were interested, until they saw the price tag

My worry is that when all the council mergers start, and camps start being sold, Summit will be the closest option for us. 

On a different note, I wonder what those council camps that are "leased" by councils will do.

The Summer Camp near us (different council) upped their prices $200 per head from 2 years ago when we attended.  A one-third increase.  So, we dropped them from consideration in favor of other councils' camps who did not do the same...

But... see link page 3... the Summit 2022 Summer Camp is about average market price.

@InquisitiveScouter,

 

That was the 2022 price. Here are the 2023 prices. And note they are subject to change. That is over $100 more than what we are paying.

Well.  I guess as long as they are the "Disneyworld of the BSA" might as well charge for it.  Will there be lightning pass and character breakfast options?

If I had my way, instead of summer camp, we would be doing our own HA trip. Unfortunately not only is my CC pushing MBs and advancement, but that is what the Scouts want as well. Heck the camp we are going to, which is charging $330, suggests having the last period open to take advantage of free shooting, swimming, and boating, and the comment made "you are paying for classes, need to take advantage of them."

When we were looking at camps, most were over $400. Few, if any, of my Scouts could afford them. I suggested a weeklong backpacking trip on the AT,  and was told it would be a wasted summer because they couldn't earn MBs. Same person said while Philmont was great, it was a wasted trip because the Scouts didn't earn any MBs.

Advancement over adventure.  You and I both know they have it backwards.
