“It is an exciting time as we begin renovating and upgrading Camp Maluhia,” said Robert Nakagawa, Scout Executive of the Maui County Council Boy Scouts of America. “It has been a great facility to thousands of scouts and the Maui community since 1937 and we are enthusiastic about building for our future.”
