Ex-Girl Scout — Group turning away from fun, simple activities
http://www.idahostatejournal.com/members/ex-girl-scout-group-turning-away-from-fun-simple-activities/article_ba73f690-6d74-11e4-aa7a-2363bb55bf22.html
Silver Sage closed Camp Jean Hayes in the Pocatello area two years ago. But O’Toole seemed to minimize the closure, calling Hayes an “unimproved camp.”

    “An unimproved camp means it does not have cabins or other amenities, just straight tent camping,” she said.

    And as recent as last November, Silver Sage was forced to close a camp property in Baker City, Ore., “another unimproved property,” O’Toole said.
