Some adult Girl Scouts are rejoicing over news that the North East Ohio council has decided to retain a third camp: Sugarbush in Trumbull County’s Kinsman.“We think it’s great and in the right direction,” said Sarah Spiegler, an organizer of the grass-roots organization Trefoil Integrity, which is trying to stop the sale of area camps.“We don’t believe that the board has done a fair evaluation to accurately assess” the camps, she said.District Chairman Dan Bragg announced Thursday that the organization had decided to keep the 200-acre Sugarbush to supplement properties it had already decided to retain: Ledgewood in Summit County’s Boston Heights and Timberlane in Huron County’s Wakeman.He said in a media release that Sugarbush would help the organization “to accommodate the ideas and visions from the member town hall meetings in August,” when Girl Scouts discussed the future of camping activities.The district has been evaluating its camps throughout Northeast Ohio over the past year and moving to sell or relinquish those it deems underused or too expensive to maintain.Leadership says camping doesn’t have the allure it once did for girls, saying only 10 percent of the membership in the 18-county area use the camps. Trefoil Integrity argues that the camps are valuable to the Girl Scouts mission and that about 20,000 girls — half of the membership — use the camps.Trefoil Integrity is forcing a special meeting of the organization’s delegates — or leadership — on the sale of the camps at 8 a.m. Oct. 29 at district headquarters in Macedonia prior to the organization’s annual meeting.To overturn the decision to sell, two-thirds of the Girl Scouts delegates present — there are 100 — must vote to keep the camps open.That could derail the leadership’s plans to sell four other camps.“We have to see what is approved or not approved by the membership,” Chief Operating Officer Brittany Zaehringer said. “Whatever passes, we will take our cue [from it].”In the meantime, the organization is asking its master planners to recommend what programming would fit best at the three camps it has decided to retain.It also is proceeding with plans to sell four camps, including the 336-acre Camp Crowell/Hilaka on the Summit-Medina county line in Richfield Township. The organization will release requests for proposals for Crowell/Hilaka, Great Trail in Carroll County, Pleasant Valley in Seneca County and Lejnar in Lake County by Dec. 1.Under current plans, Ledgewood and Timberlane would be turned into “premier leadership centers” with modern bathhouses and dining facilities. Zaehringer said Sugarbush probably would not require as large an investment.Carol Biliczky can be reached at cbiliczky@thebeaconjournal.com or 330-996-3729.
