"The Port of Los Angeles is terminating Scouting’s lease at Cabrillo Beach in San Pedro so that the site can be repurposed as a training center for national and international sailing teams in the 2028 Olympics, the Port said.... In 1982, the Scouts entered into a 30-year lease with the Port to construct and manage a youth camp facility, said Robert Scoular, a member of the board of directors and vice president of Greater LA Scouting. Scoular said the Scouts raised more than $3.6 million, including from filmmaker Steven Spielberg, to construct the Cabrillo Beach Youth Center, which spans over 12 acres and includes waterfront access, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, campgrounds, an archery range, a crafts center, an amphitheater and a kitchen. Once the lease expired, the Scouts remained on a month-to-month agreement for more than a decade, Phillip Sanfield, a spokesperson for the Port, said. The terms of the lease said that if occupancy ended, the Scouts forfeited ownership to the Port, Scoular said.

That sounds a bit like every summer camp I went to as a Scout. I earned four merit badges during summer camps - Pioneering, Motorboating, Waterskiing, and Backpacking. The last was Philmont. We just had fun at our camps. The troop in IL had a routine that we sometimes modified - we did a float trip on the Current River, swam in really cold springs, went water skiing, swimming, and motorboating on Clearwater Lake most days, and had some side trips to a state park or two. Those were filled with hiking, fishing, and cliff jumping. In England, the first troop didn't do a week trip. The second one did Philmont and Kandersteg. My sash only has 22 merit badges, but none for all the memories.
