Citizens trying to save the Boy Scout House on Morgan Hill will not get financial aid from the city.

PORT TOWNSEND --

The City Council voted Tuesday night not to assist with the $1.175 million purchase of the property.

Council members Frank Benskin, Freida Fenn, Geoff Masci, Laurie Medlicott and Mayor Catharine Robinson were all opposed to buying the land and 73-year-old cabin.

The structure was built as a meeting place for Boy Scouts. A Cub Scout pack and a Boy Scout troop, both sponsored by the Port Townsend Elks Lodge, meet at the cabin at the intersection of Quincy and Cosgrove
streets.

Councilwoman Michelle Sandoval, a real estate agent, recused herself from discussion about the Scout House to avoid a conflict of interest. Councilman Kees Kolff was absent from the meeting.

Scouting For All is not an alternative scouting program.
We are an education and advocacy organization reaching out to gay and nontheist youth and adults in our effort to get the Boy Scouts of America to rescind its exlusionary policy.

Any communications sent to Scouting for All or any Scouting for All representative may be published on the Scouting for All web site or in Scouting for All materials unless the communication specifically requests that it not be published.
