SKC Camp Update

On November 14, 2019, an amended resolution was passed to appoint a committee to immediately investigate revenue generating options for Simon Kenton Council’s camp properties. The findings were presented at the Board Meeting on Thursday, January 16, 2020. 

After thoughtful deliberation, the volunteer, Executive Board of the Simon Kenton Council has approved a recommendation proposed by the Camp Property Stewardship Committee. 

The volunteers of the board agreed to defer any efforts to market, sell, lease, or close any Council owned property (except the portion of Camp Lazarus that was previously approved by the Board). The camp master planning process will continue and an updated presentation will be given at the May 2020 meeting of the Executive Board. 

We are excited about moving forward with a masters plan for our camps. We want our camps to be a destination for all of our Scouts, positive reflections on our organization, and places where the Scouting program comes to life.
