• Future of a New Hampshire Girl Scout camp hangs in the balance amid legal battle (bostonglobe.com) — A long-running New Hampshire Girl Scout camp created specifically to benefit girls from Arlington is at the center of a high-stakes legal battle over whether it must remain a camp or can be sold for luxury homes.
