Camp Richard probably isn’t on your map of Nantucket. The hundred acres of pine forest is surrounded on all sides by development, yet somehow it’s still hidden away in the busy mid-island area and relatively unknown. Camp Richard has also been the home of the Nantucket Boy Scouts since President Dwight Eisenhower was in the White House. And it’s now the crux of a contentious, high-profile legal skirmish over the ownership of the campground that has pitted Boy Scouts on either side of Nantucket Sound against each other.
