Revolutionary Trails/Otschodela Council merged-synthesize into new council

Otschodela Council

The Otschodela Council of the Boy Scouts of America served the needs of Delaware, Otsego and Schoharie Counties in upstate New York.

Otschodela Council was formed in 1924 as the Otsego-Schoharie Council; the third county added in 1926 and the name changed to Otschodela (OTsego-SCHOharie-DELAware). Otschodela Council, headquartered in Oneonta, NY, retained its name and three-county borders.

As of 2016, this council has merged with the Revolutionary Trails Council to form the new Leatherstocking Council.

Organization

It is divided into two districts:

Deerslayer District
Foothills District

Order of the Arrow

Onteroraus Lodge^[1]

Henderson Scout Reservation

Within its programs the council provides opportunities for scouts to participate in summer camp at Boy Scout Camp Henderson, camporees, day camps and more. It provides valuable leader training at all levels of scouting.

Henderson Scout Reservation is made up of over 600 acres (2 km²) of woodlands and is home to a 70-acre (0 km²) lake that are both managed and maintained for the best possible Scouting experience. It has twelve campsites located in close proximity to the program facilities. It runs six weeks of Boy Scout Summer Camp Programs and Webelos Summer Camps. The camp also provides year-round camping at any of its lodging facilities, campsites or lean-tos.^[2]

Located 20 minutes away from the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown and the Soccer Hall of Fame in Oneonta, the Otschodela Council with the National Baseball Hall of Fame has developed a Boy Scout national patch for the Baseball Hall of Fame Scavenger Hunt.^[3]

Revolutionary Trails Council

Revolutionary Trails Council served a portion of central New York. In 2001, the Land of the Oneidas Council and General Herkimer Council merged forming the current council. The council provides Scouting to Herkimer, Oneida and Madison Counties as well as part of Hamilton, Otsego and Lewis Counties.

As of 2016, this council has merged with the Otschodela Council listed above to form the new Leatherstocking Council.

Adirondack Council

I was looking to create a page for the Adirondack Council. The Adirondack Council (adirondackcouncil.org) is a non-profit with a $2.5M annual budget as per their webpage (www.adirondackcouncil.org/page/about-us-1.html). It's widely featured in news articles about the park. Googling suggests several dozen news articles in 2022 alone from the New York Times and various Adirondack publications among others.

So imagine my surprise when I found out Adirondack Council directs here. There should at least be a disambiguation page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CallOftheLoon (talk • contribs) 21:55, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@CallOftheLoon:, hello! I just created Adirondack Council (Boy Scouts). You can use the redirect as you see fit. Good luck with your effort. --evrik ^(talk) 22:10, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
