I hate quibbling - but you are wrong - Menotomoy is OWNED by the former "Patriots Trail Council" which became the Central region council in the reorganization of the program. This council is the LARGEST GS troop council in Eastern MA. Not that it's that important ...

My wife is associated with the GS - North Region - formerly Spar and Spindle - they Spar & Spindle also "OWN" a summer camp - but it's not my wife's troop that owns it, its the council.

That said BI - we are on the same page - would be sad to see these great organizations fall under the government tax structure. Most would not survive...including Lawrence which almost had to run this summer without a dishwasher!! Until a generous board member donated one to the camp!
