CHR Monument
| Origin | Winter Camp XI (1987) |
| The Story | In 1986, the Detroit Area Council sold Charles Howell Scout Reservation in Brighton. Like many scouters, Winter Campers mad an effort to secure some souvenirs from the former camp. Most of what was recovered were a few plaques and some signs, mostly for cabins and one subcamp. In 1987, Winter Campers built s secret memorial to the old camp. The site is high in the hills of Beaver Creek and far enough off the beaten track (i.e., there's no trail to it) that it has remained mostly hidden. Former ranger Dave Morosky was aware of the site and said he knew who built it from the moment he discovered it. The site has been maintained and expanded since it's creation and several campers have spent nights camping there, typically in December. The site is the location of the Winter Camp time capsules and the location of an annual ceremony to celebrate CHR. |
