Forgot to mention, I stopped by there about 10 years ago, and they had drained the lack to kill the algy and clean up the lake. Then again about 5 years ago. People who live there still call it Boy Scout Island.

Comment on Camp Chagres History Canal Zone Council by Rich

I earned my Eagle rank (Troop 6) in the Canal Zone Council and went to summer camp at Camp Chagres. I even earned my swimming and canoeing merit badges in the Chagres River. I remember the wildlife there was quite extensive. The tarantulas were huge! However, I can’t write about Camp Chagres without a fond mention of the RRR….Royal Retail Ripoff…the camp store. What a great place to hang out for a cold drink on a hot day. I miss the good times we had there as kids.

Comment on Michigan State for 2012 NOAC? by Gasper Danish

Gasper Danish — Sun, 22 Apr 2012 23:19:05 +0000

I attended the 2006 NOAC at Michigan State.
I was very disappointed with that event and was surprised to see another event scheduled at that University. The scouts were treated like a burden, the transportation was terrible, and scouts were locked out of their dorms even though they could not get back on time because of the lack of bus transport.
I am going again this year. I hope to see improvements!!!!! Otherwise, the University should NEVER again be considered.

Comment on New Commissioner Knot Coming by Wayne Chatfield

Wayne Chatfield — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:39:22 +0000

As knots go is this more or less important than the Distinguished Commissioner Award. It looks like a cross between the Doctorate and DCA. We do not need another knot we need Commissioners who do their job. The satisfaction of that should be enough.
