Jennifer Donohue, a representative for Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson, said the organization plans to reinvest sales proceeds into renovations at other facilities, including two camps, Addison Boyce in Tomkins Cove and Rock Hill in Mahopac, and houses in Larchmont and New Rochelle. Another service center, in Pleasantville, is in contract to be sold. The organization would also move out of its Poughkeepsie service center. The list includes two camps: Ludington, a 150-acre facility in Holmes that needs an estimated $1 million in upgrades, and Wendy, a 56-acre site in the hamlet of Wallkill in Ulster County that needs a $900,000 investment. “There are so many alumni Girl Scouts who live in Beacon still and have that experience of using Fanny Fay,” she said of the building, which was named to honor the late Fanny Fay Morrison, whose husband supported the Girl Scouts in Beacon.įanny Fay is among five Girl Scout houses identified in the study as properties that could be sold. Altonen, who met at Fanny Fay as a Scout in the 1970s and 1980s, happens to live three blocks from the building. Rhonda Altonen, who leads two Beacon troops that meet weekly at Fanny Fay, says she was surprised to see the building on the list of properties to be sold but has started searching for alternative spaces. The building also needs an estimated $38,000 in upgrades, including air conditioning, a new bathroom and repairs to both its flooring and Americans with Disabilities Act ramp, the study said. The organization represents scouts in Dutchess, Putnam and five other counties in the Hudson Valley.īuilt as a barracks for Civilian Conservation Corps workers, and owned by the Girl Scouts since 1937, the one-story building was used 120 days in 2019, costing $3,200, according to the report. The Fanny Fay House, at 1 John St., is named as one of the properties that Girl Scouts Heart of the Hudson could “exit” in a long-term plan compiled by a real estate consultant. The longtime meeting space for Girl Scout troops in Beacon is on a list of properties that will be put on the market by the parent organization, which is looking to shed houses and outdoor camps and shift savings to other locations.
