​ History

Chagrin Valley Cabin was constructed with funds donated by the Chagrin Valley District of the Lake Erie Girl Scout Council ( Solon, Orange, Maple Hts, Chagrin Falls, and Bedford Neighborhoods. ) It was finished in 1964 and the cabin first used on the weekend of February 5th, 1965.  The first campers were two National Roundup patrols from C.V. district.  

From October 2009 - December 2011, Chagrin Valley was assigned to volunteer camp monitors.  

At the present time ( 2018) the cabin is being prepped for use as a field station for Baldwin Wallace University under the direction of Dr. Chris Stanton.
