Three Harbors Council Accepts Camping Task Force Recommendations Enhanced Programs Eyed for Southern Properties; 2015 to be Last Year for Camping at Northern Sites After extensive review of demographics, camping property conditions, camp program financials, national trends and camping programs, the council camping task force made two recommendations to the Three Harbors Councils Executive Board: 1) ceasing camping programs at the northern properties and 2) maintaining the southern camp operations while exploring ways to enhance program at those two locations. As a part of the process, the task force visited a number of other camps located in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Council Scout Executive/CEO Ed Brandon stressed that camping and summer camp in particular is still a vital part of the Boy Scout program. Boys will continue to have access to high quality camping. While this decision was in no way based on immediate financial strain, Brandon indicated the councils Executive Board has a fiduciary responsibility to ensure a financially sustainable program for the future of the council and noted that these changes will help realize that sustainability.
