Isabel Scout Ranch into a conservation easement,

We are proud that we receive support from a variety
of sources.

Scout camp for future generations of Scouts beyond
all of our lifetimes. This easement, with its building,
mineral, and other rights extinguished or reserved,
makes the property unattractive to developers and
buyers. In addition, the camp is also protecting over
380 acres of natural state of the forest for the future
enjoyment of all persons.
