An Effingham County Girl Scout Camp up for sale.
Camp Wassatoga, located along Lake Sara, is one of four camps the Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois announced they'll sell for 3.4 million dollars and close by the end of the year.
Officials say a decline in camp usage and financial reasons are behind the closure.
Girl scouts and their leaders are upset, saying these campsites are ideal for archery and other outdoor activities that are difficult to do elsewhere.
Camp Wassatoga is also home to hiking trails, fishing, a lodge, and a shelter.
