TL;DR
Scouts Canada is selling a historic campsite in Quebec, which has been used by the organization for 105 years, due to financial constraints and declining membership. The 41-hectare property, located on the Rouge River, has a rich camping tradition but has become unsustainable to maintain. Local scout leaders are disappointed by the sale, as the site holds significant nostalgic and cultural value for many members. Scouts Canada is open to community input and partnerships but is proceeding with the sale in hopes of finding a buyer who might preserve its scouting heritage.
