Camp Details
Purdy Scout Reservation The 48-acre Purdy Scout Reservation was a Boy Scout camp located in White Plains, New York, which opened in 1950. John G. "Tiny" Sperling was the Camp Ranger; Sperling Pond at Clear Lake Scout Reservation in Putnam Valley was named in his honor. In 1978, the council sold the 48-acre site to business park developers for $3 million. By this time, the camp was surrounded by suburban development, office parks, and I-287; all of which made for a less-than-ideal camping experience. The sale finally closed in 1982.
