This news article mentions
"some apprehension" about the continuation of Girl Scout summer camp - this
was due to the nation's involvement in World War II. Many activities were
curtailed during this time - however Girl Scout camp continued in many areas
and was even actively involved with community help by using summer camps as
base camps for Girl Scout Farm Aide volunteers. |

GE Global Community Day benefits Camp Ledgewood
PENINSULA — Girl Scouts of North East Ohio (GSNEO) has
announced Camp Ledgewood has been chosen as the site of this year’s GE
Global Community Day project.
More than 550 volunteers led by 20 team captains will
converge on the campgrounds May 22 for GE’s 10th annual project. All of the
volunteers are GE employees from the Cleveland area who will clean, paint
and make repairs to the Girl Scout camp.
The all-day renovation will include everything from
staining cabins and repairing roofs to replacing counter tops and cabinets
to landscaping projects, building benches and installing fire pits. GE is
donating about $60,000 to give Camp Ledgewood a fresh new look.
Camp Ledgewood is located within the boundaries of the
Cuyahoga Valley National Park. The 400-acre camp was founded in 1932. During
the 2007 camping season, Camp Ledgewood was used by 306 troops — or 4,600
girls — plus 700 girls who attended resident camp and other summer
activities. In this 2008 season, an increase in participation is expected.

Lejnar |
(2006 online
article) LEROY TOWNSHIP, Ohio -- More than a dozen Girl Scouts and their
counselors were transported to local hospitals after they were poisoned by
carbon monoxide, NewsChannel5 reported.
The CO detector went off at Lake Erie Girl Scout Camp Lejnar late Saturday
night.
"The CO detector and smoke alarm started going off, so they removed
everybody from the building and called 911," said Chief Frank Huffman.The Leroy Township Fire Department got the first call at midnight. Huffman
said the girls' symptoms were too strong to ignore.
"Initially there were six, but some of the couselors were
also feeling ill. We ended up transporting 14 people to Lake East and Geauga
Hospital," Huffman said.
There were two Girl Scout troops at the camp when the detectors went off.
One was from Lake County and the other was from Geauga County. Officials
said all of the girls were under the age of 15.
Ann Fairhurst, with the Girl Scouts, said the troops started the fireplace
early in the day because of Saturday's chilly weather, but they didn't spend
a lot of time inside until later that night.
"They had been out at the fire pit outside and came in around 11
o'clock. They were in for a very short period of time and all of the alarms,
we have CO detectors and smoke detectors inside. All the alarms went off and
the adults that were with them got them evacuated," Fairhurst said.
Fire investigators said within several hours everyone was treated and
returned to Camp Lejanr. |
