I joined Scouting as a Cub Scout in, well, let’s just say it was over a half-century ago. I’ve been active in Scouting ever since, having served at the unit, district, council, regional and national levels.
Spring fever is setting in here in the New River Gorge, and that means it’s time to get the chain oiled up on the bikes.
It’s how we end the Scout Law, and let’s face it: After the adventure, fellowship, and connection with a beautiful place like the Summit, we’re all going to want to spend some time in reflection.
Situated in the wilds of West Virginia, The Summit Bechtel Reserve is a training, Scouting, and adventure center for the millions of youth and adults involved in Scouting America and anyone who loves the outdoors. The Summit Bechtel Reserve is also home to the National Scout Jamboree and the Paul R. Christen National High Adventure Base.
The mission of Scouting America is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
