Not really a joking matter, Don Izard brought word to Patch-L a few days back that Hiawatha-Seaway was having some financial difficulties and was looking to sell one of its Scout Camps, Camp Portaferry. Separately I also heard from Ray Gould, that Camp Portaferry has been underutilizd since the merger of Hiawatha Council and Seaway Valley a few years back.
Always a sad thing to see an old Scout Camp with its traditions and memories fade away.
You can find more information here [2].
Not sure if this means there would be any potential mergers in the future and if so, what effect it may have on Kayanernh-Kowa #219

Portaferry was sold folowing the 2006 summercamp season. My troop had been camping there the last few years, we were sad to see it go.
