The Cape & Islands Council has decided to sell 30 acres belonging to Nantucket's Camp Richard to a developer, in order to fund off-island Boy Scouts activities. This is land was donated to island scouts over 30 years ago by the Nantucket Civic League with the intention that it may be preserved for typical Boy Scout objectives: To build character, to foster participating citizenship, and to develop physical, mental and emotional fitness. It was not donated to fund the salaries and activities of the Cape Cod based scouting organization.
