WOODGATE (AP) – A Boy Scouts organization in central New York has decided to sell its nearly century-old camp because of declining enrollment and economic reasons.

The Utica-based Boy Scouts of America’s Revolutionary Trails Council owns Camp Russell, located on White Lake in the Oneida County hamlet of Woodgate, on the Adirondack Park’s southwestern boundary. The property was donated to the Scouts in 1918.

Council officials tell the Observer-Dispatch of Utica that they’re selling the camp and another property this year, but Camp Russell will remain open for the 2015 camping season. The organization plans to keep a third property, Camp Kingsley.

Boy Scout officials say participation in scouting in the western Mohawk Valley has declined significantly over the past decade. The officials say it makes better economic sense to operate one camp instead of three.
