Thousands have joined on Facebook in support of saving Pouch Camp; hundreds have already signed the petition online. Now, let's join together in a rally and march in support of saving Pouch Camp!

More details on this event will be coming soon, but save the date. We will start in front of Susan Wagner High School, located at 1200 Manor Road in Staten Island.

An official announcement on this rally will be made on December 5th and a meeting with volunteers and organizers Alex Zablocki and Brandon Linker, both Eagle Scouts, will be held the evening of December 8th.

TOGETHER we can save Pouch Camp and this rally will prove to the officials that can make this happen that we are united and ready to work with all interested parties in seeing that Pouch Camp does not get sold to a developer. We join with the Greater New York City Council and the Boy Scouts of America in calling for the funding of a conservation easement to protect this land, and our camp, from future development.

If you would like to help make signs and be part of the organizing team, please send a message.
