Green Bay
Scout Camp
Since 1947, members of the local Scouting movement
have been ‘green.’ As the youth see it, being
eco-friendly is just practicing common sense at
Green Bay Scout Camp. Its wilderness setting and
environmentally sound activities such as canoeing,
are in keeping with Scouting’s mandate as set out in
Lord Baden Powell’s Scouting for Boys. Here at Green
Bay, Scout youth have the opportunity to live
together under completely different circumstances
than at home. The 47-acre property on Lake Cecebe
that comprises the local camp was donated by Burk’s
Falls physician Dr. A. W. Partridge. In was in 1946
that the doctor was convinced by his son Frank or
‘Skipper’ as he was fondly called, that the Troop
needed a permanent campsite. That summer he was
allowed to take four young Scouts to Green Bay to
begin clearing a site for the future camp.
Unbeknownst to the doctor, the property was to be
his final ‘gift’ to his beloved son Frank
(1924-1949). ‘Skipper’ was one of the first Scout
Masters of the 1st Burk’s Falls Scouts and a cairn
was erected in his memory in 2001, as part of the
camp’s 50th anniversary celebrations.
