Girl Scout Camp Remains Open
WARREN – The Allegheny National Forest wishes to clarify the current situation at the Birdsall Edey Girl Scout Camp. Forest officials announced that the Camp remains open as they work in cooperation with the Girl Scout Council on concerns regarding the condition of some facilities on site.
Forest Supervisor Leanne Marten and Bradford District Ranger Tony Scardina expressed that, “the Council and the Forest Service agreed that we must ensure the health and safety of the caretakers, girl scouts, and boy scouts that utilize the site. As a result, a few buildings of concern on the site will not be used as we work with the Council on how to resolve these issues. Although we do not view many of these problems as imminent or absolute health and safety hazards, the potential health and safety issues were great enough to warrant precautionary measures.”
The Forest Service and the Girl Scout Council will meet in the near future to continue working together on these matters.
