Three camps in Eastern Pennsylvania are to be closed by the Girl Scouts of Eastern Pennsylvania. The camps are Tohikanee, Tweedale and Hidden Falls.

What a shame that camps are being sold and our selection of badges have been abandonded. What a way to celebrate our 100th anniversary. Keep the camps! Keep the old badges! Get rid of the Girls Guide and the Journeys.
