Scout Councils Look At Merger,

Seek Input At Crumhorn Meeting

MILFORD – Over the past month, the Utica-based Revolutionary Trails and Oneonta-based Otschodela Boy Scout Councils have been working on a comprehensive feasibility study to examine possible consolidation, and have scheduled a meeting to solicit input at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 30, at the Henderson Scout Reservation on Crumhorn Mountain.

Scouts, their parents and interested members of the community are welcome.

The new Boy Scout Council would include over 3,500 Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts from over six counties.  If the consolidation goes through, it would make the new Council one of the strongest in the state.

Consolidation discussions began around a shared goal of attracting more youth to scouting and creating a better Scouting experience for their youth, the council said in a press release.
