The board needs to go. They messed up the budget and now they want to take away the best camp in the county? RIDICULOUS.
My boys spent every summer growing up here. You can't just sell off our history because of bad management. Keep the camp open!
Save the camp. If you cant run it then hand it over to people who actually care about scouting.
So many memories made at this place. Selling it would be a huge mistake.
Avery Hand is a landmark. Stop trying to make a quick buck off our kids.
I’ve recently moved back to the area after being away for almost 20 years. I had no idea that Camp Avery Hand had closed until recently. I spent a lot of my youth at the camp. From the annual Klondike Derbies to summer camp. I did my OA Ordeal there too. This place was very special to me and I’m so disappointed that our youth will never know what made this place so special to so many. While I know that it is likely too late for this petition to make a difference, I wanted to add my name to a list of scouters, leaders, and friends. I want to express how disappointed I am in the failure of the Heart of Ohio Council to preserve this land and this tradition for our local scouters. I’m even more disappointed to see that despite the fact that the camp was closed as a supposed effort to save the Heart of Ohio Council - the council no longer exists. So I can’t help but believe that this great loss to our scouting community was all for nothing. Shame on those responsible.

This place means so much to so many families. Please find another way to handle the debt.
