Today We Said Goodbye To Our (Boy) Scout Troop
I know the local councils in my area of operations have sold off land/camps, consolidated operations and whatnot and some Cub Packs and Scout Troops have ceased to exist.

Looks like my old Cub Pack is still around with the same chartering organization and that my old Troop is still soldering on after a merger with another Troop as it has since 1912 as a boys only Troop. With the breakup of the BSA and the United Methodist Church, it appears that after 111 years, my old Troop is now chartered by another organization.

I'm kind of surprised either of them still existed.

All of BSA/SA’s High Adventure camps are still around. The difference is now they are mortgaged to pay for the abuse settlement. Some councils have sold their smaller camps.

A young person sees the world as a still picture, immutable. An old person has had his nose rubbed in changes and more changes and still more changes so many times that that he knows it is a moving picture, forever changing. He may not like it--probably doesn't; I don't--but he knows it's so, and knowing is the first step in coping with it."
