The New River Gorge region of West Virginia will become home to a premier Scouting destination - offering a new high-adventure base and national leadership programs, and a permanent home to the National Scout Jamboree.

The 10,600-acre site near Beckley, to be named "The Summit: Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve," will realize the vision of a national center of Scouting excellence. The development of the site is made possible by a $50million gift, the largest in BSA history, from the S. D. Bechtel, Jr. Foundation.
