BSA has announced the approved site for a new Eastern High Adventure Center in the New River Gorge area near Bechtel, West Virginia, to be named The Summit: Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve. The over 10,000 acre site will also serve, beginning in 2013, as the permanent home of the quadrennial National Boy Scout Jamborees.
Through the efforts of a Scouter active on the meritbadge.net web site, which complements the US Scouting Service Project sites, we've obtained and posted some images of the site.
