Boy Scout Camp Evacuated Due to Flooding

The BSA Camp in Eden, VT was evacuated. I used to work there....I have never been to a place that gets so much rain.

The 163 Scouts and staff are safe. If any of you are involved in Scouts, the camp, when it is not raining, is an amazing place to visit. 2,000 acres or so...great hiking on Mount Norris.

Bummer, that makes for a rather crappy summer camp experience... But kinda cool at the same time.

Some of my favorite memories as a kid were at boyscout camp. Camp Resolute in Bolton, Mass.

That's the camp site I'm looking into reserving this winter for a scout winter camping/skiing trip...do you know anything about how the cabins are there?

My son goes to Camp Wah-tut-ca in Northwood, NH for summer camp...a few years ago he went the week after a microburst knocked over a bunch of trees and destroyed the camp store, and the latest storms were right nearby. Scary stuff.

PM me. Depends on what you are used to for amenities....rustic is the word for Mount Norris, which can be good or bad depending on what you want.
