Funding Statement by the Committee to Save Pouch Camp

 

This site was started to create a place we, concerned Scouts and residents of Staten Island and New York City, could come to get informed and get involved in saving Pouch Camp.

Through organization and awareness, we can save Pouch Camp - we have to. Pouch Camp has touched the lives of countless young people throughout the years. Maybe you have hiked in Pouch, camped in a cabin or fished in Lake Ohrbach. Maybe you just drove by Pouch Camp and remember a Staten Island that was greener and never thought this property could be sold to developers.

Since the Committee to Save Pouch Camp organized in 2010, the Committee has held numerous rallies, community events, fundraisers and lawn sign drives.  With the announcement of a deal to save Pouch Camp by the GNYC-BSA and the Trust for Public Land, we must focus now, more than ever, to see this preservation plan become a reality.

Please suggest content that should appear on this site and get (and stay) involved. Together, we can save Pouch Camp!

A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.
