Boy Scouts Fear Cutbacks
WEST VIRGINIA....
The Tri-State Area Council of the Boys Scouts of America is currently running a $100,000 deficit, and leaders in West Virginia fear, if the two-month camp season isn't fruitful, changes could include closing a scout services center, layoffs and reduced camp operations. Over the past year, leaders trimmed more than four positions, reduced performance raises and travel reimbursements and eliminated company cars. Camp Arrowhead in Ona, Camp Kiashuta in Long Bottom, Ohio, and Camp Cherokee in Louisa, Ky. use up much of the council's $750,000 annual operating budget. The Tri-State Council is looking for private donations and corporate sponsors to help stay viable.
