Boy Scouts of America's "DEEP GREEN" National Jamboree site

July 4, 2013 by Bill Kurtz AIA    

This summer across the country, approximately 50,000 boy scouts will be traveling across our various united states, experiencing a variety of important places, on their way to the BSA’s first owned national jamboree site. 

Attending this event is a priority for our scouting family. In prior years, the land was leased for special event purposes.  Ready for occupancy this July 2013, the BSA has a permanant home for their every-four-year National Jamboree event (“The Summit”, The Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve located in West Virginia).

For a century, the Boy Scouts of America have been leaders in conservation.  More than "green", in their own words, Boy Scouts of America is  “DEEP GREEN” .
