Expenses for the normal day-to-day
activities, maintenance and repairs are covered by funding from the
Simon Kenton Council, Boy Scouts of America. Since it absorbed the
Licking County Council and acquired the camp some years ago, the
Council has greatly improved the camp, bringing it up to its current
high standards Camp Falling Rock is regarded by many as being the
“Premier Camp” among the several in this large Council. Unfortunately,
though, in our world of limited resources, there isn’t always enough
money to provide everything we’d like to offer our Scouts at Camp
Falling Rock.
The Camp Properties Committee, consisting of
dozens of volunteers, had often discussed the possibility of setting
up a fund to provide for certain contingencies and needs not otherwise
covered by Council. There was a strong desire to simultaneously
provide these extra benefits to the camp, to avoid being an additional
administrative burden to the council, and to establish a legal basis
for tax-deductibility of donations.
