Boy Scouts Find Ownerless Land

Written by Pat's Papers | Wednesday, 1 February 2012 9:15 AM

The Boy Scouts of Troop 965 discovered something rare on a recent camping trip, says the Baltimore Sun. The land adjacent to their campground is not on state tax rolls because it doesn’t have an owner. The troop is now trying to be declared the official owner, but first they muddle their way through a Colonial-era land patent.
