  1. Call the council for your summer camp (or the high adventure base) and get an email (aka "in writing") that fees will be reimbursed if they are closed by governing health agencies. You may also ask about cases where you or your community is under quarantine, but the camp (which is hours away) is still open. Most councils do have some sort of event insurance that covers this. If a parent pays for camp, and then decides on their own not to send the Scout, then they'll probably get no fees returned. Your mileage WILL vary. I'll bet the travel insurance industry is booming right now...
  2. Call the council to ask if they will refund if governing health agencies impose community or individual restrictions. Ask for an email confirmation.
  3. Ugh... Our council, weekend camping, $29 for a site with capacity of 12 ($2.42 per head minimum, if used fully. Only one in the entire camp, so if it isn't available, you are paying more.), to $89 for capacity of 42 ($2.12 per head min if fully used). Pit latrines, running water at a distance from campsite, free split firewood, limited trails, major paved pubic road smack through the middle of camp. Unit responsible for program. If you want to use any program sites at camp, you pay extra. Lots of units, associated Scout bedlam, check-in/check-out (not too much of a hassle) A stone's throw across the creek at our county park, in the off-season, $0.50 per head flat fee, pit latrines, bring your own water, forage for firewood, off the road a bit. Lots of trails, rock climbing available if you have the gear. Unit program entirely. We are the only unit, it's our own Scout bedlam, no check-in/check-out. Another local township park allows us to camp for free. We go to the county and township parks...
  4. For only $9500...am I reading that right?
  5. You could check with local or regional Scouting museums. They might be interested.
  6. Hello All! First post for me...☺️ Wondering if you could help me understand something???...I see Arrow WV named in the Chap 11 filing. When I went to Charity Navigator and pulled up their IRS 990 from 2017 (for example), it names Surbaugh as VP and Director, with reportable compensation of $624,714 (page 7 of 45). When I check BSA National's for same year, it lists Surbaugh with exactly the same compensation (on page 26 of 111). Any corporate finance gurus out there explain that? Looks strange to me...
