LEWISTON — Local volunteers are working to establish a Memorial Scout Camp in Osborn in memory of Craig Goodwin and Adam Beggs. Both of these young men were active members of Boy Scout Troop 160, Lewiston, at the time of their death.

Troop 160 Memorial Scout Camp is a public, nonprofit, charitable corporation dedicated to establishing a memorial scout camp in order to promote wilderness camping experiences. The members of the Board of Directors are all local volunteers with countless years of scouting background.

At present, the directors are conducting a capital campaign in order to raise the funds needed to purchase a two-acre property located on the shores of Spectacle Pond. The property features more than 200 feet of shoreline, a two-story cottage and a campsite. The remote location of the property will lend itself well to wilderness camping activities.

Troop 160 Memorial Scout Camp will be available to be used by any scout, scout family, Troop 160 alumni and members of the public interested in wilderness camping experiences. It is the intention of the Board of Directors to make the camp available at little or no cost.
