Are you excited for the Summit? Because, you know, it’s not that far away! Read more for some high adventure facts.
Here are 5 things that ARE NOT high adventure that you have an opportunity to do at the 2013 jamboree.
The Summit is where? West Virginia? Is that a state?
Indoors or outdoors, good weather or bad, hiking or biking; there isn’t always a need to carry a huge pack that has tons of space.
The BSA Patrol/Troop First-Aid Kit from Adventure® Medical, a well organized and stocked first-aid kit, is suitable for up to 6 people on almost any troop event.
You’ve heard about Mayhem Mountain, and how you can catch some big air at the Summit’s high-adventure basecamp for BMX and skateboarding. But just in case that isn’t your style, there is another way you can fly at the 2013 jamboree.
Imagine your perfect whitewater experience. Got it?
In earlier segments of this Venturing to the Summit series, we watched as members from Venturing Crews 32 and 44 from North Carolina worked and played in and around the New River Gorge.
When the national jamboree kicks off at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in July 2013, the Summit will become the second-largest city in the whole state of West Virginia.
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.
