October 21, 2009
Over 70 years of Boy Scout memories are contained in the Scout-a-Vista camp located in the Mission Ridge area south of Wenatchee. But Officials with the Grand Columbia Council of the Boy Scouts of America say mounting financial debt will force them to sell the 200 acre property unless a benefactor comes forward to save it. Council Executive Robert Fawcett tells KOHO news that the organization has accumulated 1.5 million dollars in debt from capital expenses and the continued operation of its scout camp properties including Summit camp in Okanogan County . .
