The Pandora area nature preserve announces pop-up events like Star Walks on Facebook and Instagram.

On Saturday July 8, Camp Berry and the Black Swamp Area Council will celebrate the 100th anniversary of Scouts camping on the banks of Eagle Creek, now known as Camp Berry. In an effort to secure a more permanent summer camp location, the local Boy Scout council leased 10 acres on Eagle Creek in 1925. In 1928, Mr. and Mrs. R.J. Berry purchased 83 acres, which include the original ten acres for the Scouts. The camp was named after the Berrys' son, R. J. Jr. who had died in a streetcar accident on South Main Street, Findlay in 1915.

The anniversary event will be held on Saturday July 8, from 2:00-7:30 p.m. as an open house with select program areas open. Current Scouts and their families, along with Camp Berry alumni, Scouting alumni and community members are invited to attend. 

The event will conclude with a dinner at 6:00 p.m. and a closing campfire at 7:00 p.m.  Registration is requested and can be made at www.BlackSwampBSA.org/
