The fate of the Trexler Scout Reservation is still in the air, but organizations have been putting together bids to take over the 755-acre piece of nature in Polk Township.

One of them is the Pocono Heritage Land Trust, which recently submitted a bid for the Boy Scout camp, which has a history stretching back more than 90 years. Executive Director Louise Troutman was limited in what she could say because of a non-disclosure agreement, but was worried about potential competition for Camp Trexler.

“I can tell you that we did submit a bid, and that we are concerned that there might be a bidding war,” Troutman said on Wednesday. “So we’re continuing to raise money so that we can hopefully continue to be a viable bid.”

Troutman said she thinks there are less than 10 bidders, who had to submit them by March 24, and the winner may be decided as early as next week.
