RememberSchiff Posted March 2, 2019 Author Share Posted March 2, 2019 Built in 1949, moved to this location in 1952. Had been the dining hall until 2000, currently a program building. Unknown why the roof was not raked? Sudden heavy snow, not enough time? Insurance adjuster due next week. https://fox11online.com/news/local/heavy-snow-causes-partial-building-collapse-at-bear-paw-scout-camp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubmaster Pete Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 We have had so much snow here lately, and more in this part of the state. Just had a blizzard move thru this area last week. This is one of my councils camps. Glad no one was hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead we have a video of 3 guys standing there, flying a drone, waiting and watching for the building collapse. The PR difference between there was nothing we could do in time versus we did nothing to prevent it. My $0.01 for being grumpy P.S. My roof has a steeper pitch, less snow, and I rake.

But then, the roof of our council camp's 20 year old dining hall collapsed under similar circumstances several years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle1993 Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 There was a group in the camp tapping trees for maple syrup and they saw the damage and heard the noise of the walls popping. One person had a drone and others grabbed cameras waiting for the collapse. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
