Treasure Island Scout Reservation
Treasure Island is a Boy Scout property located between Point Pleasant, Pennsylvania and Frenchtown, New Jersey, United States. The property is situated on two islands in the middle of the Delaware River and owned by the Cradle of Liberty Council. Treasure Island was the oldest continually operated Boy Scout Camp in the country and had been continuously associated with Scouting since 1913.〔http://scoutcamp.org/oldestcamps.asp America's Oldest Boy Scout Camps〕
In April 2005, storms caused some of the highest flooding since 1955. As a result, Treasure Island was closed to summer campers in 2005 for the first time in twenty-five years. The council spent more than $1-million to rehabilitate the camp in preparation for reopening in June 2006. On June 28, 2006, the camp was once again inundated. While its long-term future was in doubt,〔http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/15028522.htm Scout camp digs out — again〕 it opened again successfully in 2007 and 2008. However on September 10, 2008, the Council Executive Board voted to close Treasure Island for the 2009 season,〔(Press release )〕 the camp remained closed for the 2010 season and is now permanently shuttered.

Among the important buildings on the island are the Kiwanis Lodge (HandiCraft), the Klein Lodge (nature), the Health Lodge, the Trading Post, and "City Hall," which was the main office in control of Treasure Island. During the summer, most of the lodges were used for merit badge instruction. There is also the Goodman Stockade, where the opening campfires are held on Sunday nights, and the Ceremonial Grounds, where the Order of the Arrow ceremonies and the Friday night closing campfire are held.
Treasure Island has a swimming pool, and boating was conducted in canoes and rowboats on the west side of the island at the Boathouse.
