Unsolved Camp Murders And Mythos
- Three young Girl Scouts were sexually assaulted and murdered at Camp Scott in 1977, and the case remains unsolved decades later.
- The crime's brutality and surrounding folklore (black magic, shapeshifting) have cemented its notoriety.
Ignored Precamp Warnings
- Camp counsellors found a threatening note and experienced thefts and a break-in during pre-camp training but dismissed it as a prank.
- The warning note was never shown to police, and memories about its wording remain conflicting.
Secluded Tent Raised Safety Concerns
- Tent 8 (or 7 by some counts) was the most secluded and poorly placed, obscured from councillors by facilities.
- Parents later said they would never have allowed their children to stay there had they seen the setup.
