Learn more about how you can support the Summit Bechtel Reserve through our current campaigns and planned giving.



Imagine a place where adventure ignites the spirit; service shapes the heart; leadership forges the mind, and sustainability guides every step. This extraordinary place exists—it’s the Summit Bechtel Reserve, nestled in the breathtaking wilds of West Virginia.
As we look to the future, we need your help to ensure that coming generations can embark on their own transformative journeys. Your gift today will open doors for countless young people to create unforgettable, adventure-packed stories.

Camperships ensure that financial limitations never stand in the way of a Scout experiencing everything the Summit has to offer.
Through the Summit Bechtel Reserve Campership Fund, you make these opportunities possible. Each campership helps open the door for a Scout to take on new challenges, grow through hands-on learning, and discover their potential in one of the most exciting high adventure settings in Scouting.

The Summit Bechtel Reserve Staff Association, a collective force of former and current staff members continues to champion the vision, mission, and transformative programs of SBR.
You can help support this vision through contributions to the SBR Staff Association. The unwavering commitment of the staff association is a driving force behind the unforgettable moments that shape Scouts into resilient leaders.

When you make the Summit Bechtel Reserve part of your will or estate plan, you ensure that Scouting America’s newest High Adventure Base continues to grow, develop, and thrive well into Scouting’s second century. Your investment can support the Summit in many ways, from zip lining and climbing at the Paul R. Christen National High Adventure Base to supporting maintenance and facilities investments in other parts of the park. Whether you would like to put your donation to work today or leave a legacy that makes dividends for the future of our country, let us help you find a gift that meets your goals and helps Scouts be Prepared for Life™.
