Overview

Mission

Promote and operate Treasure Island Camp (TIC) as a historic legacy Boy Scouts of America, BSA camping venue, providing resources, manpower, and staff expertise; To ensure that the magic of historic TIC will be able to be experienced for untold thousands of campers in the future.

What it reported doing in 2025

TIC: Provide rustic camping access and scouting program to local and regional Boy and Girl Scout units on historic Treasure island. TIC was once one of the oldest Boy Scout Camps in the country, now owned by a private entity who allows Friends of Treasure Island (FTI) to provide camping to scouting units free of charge 8-9 weekends a year. FTI feels the high adventure aspect of camping on an island without power creates an outdoor learning laboratory for young scouts and supports the leadership of these units by offering scouting adventure and skills including campfires, canoeing, colors, etc.. The program has been so well received by the scout units that many return and FTI was fully booked for the 2025 camping season. FTI is run totally by volunteers, many of whom were camp staff on TIC as youth and young adults. The place is magic and can change how youth see the world.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 79% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
