It looks like the birthplace of the OA, Treasure Island Scout Camp\u00c2\u00a0 will be closing in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

From the Cradle of Liberty Council web site<\/a>:<\/p>\n

…it is recommended to the Cradle of Liberty Council Executive Committee that Treasure Island be closed as of October 1, 2008. Treasure Island would be closed for both weekend and summer camping. The Council’s Camping Committee will investigate the future use of Treasure Island and make a presentation at a date to be determined.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The vote was held, and it was 35-1<\/a> to close:<\/p>\n

Last night the Council Executive Board ratified the recommendations of the Camping Committee and the executive committee to close Treasure Island for 2009. The evening featured a presentation from Mike Coyne our Camping Chairman along with a lengthy difficult conversation.<\/p>\n

The Executive Board did not come to this decision lightly. The Council has been working diligently to keep the camp open since the two consecutive floods of 2005 and 2006. The cost of the camp, sharp decline in attendance since the floods, and the increasing environmental restrictions forced the board to reluctantly ratify the recommendation 35 to 1.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are currently no plans to sell the property, but it is a sad thing to see.\u00c2\u00a0 Its been several years since I was last at TI, and I’m sorry that I won’t be able to go back there.<\/p>\n
