Camp for Sale or Trade?

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.

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
