Council-wide Camporee & Family Camp

October 9-11, 2026

The Summit Bechtel Reserve

The Summit Bechtel Reserve (or “The Summit,” for short) is a unique Scouting facility with an expansive main property spanning over 10,000 acres. One of the reasons Scouting America choose this site for the Summit was its adjacency to New River Gorge National River. More than 13 miles of the property borders the park, giving Scouts and Scouters access to more than 70,000 acres of managed wilderness beyond the Summit property.

Bring your Cub Scouts, Scouts, and Venturers to our Cub Scout Family Camp and a Council-wide Camporee at the Summit. Separate camping and program areas will be set aside for the Family Camp and for the troops and crews who will be participating in the Camporee.  Lots of fun activities will keep your scouts busy all weekend.

What sort of activities?  For starters, BB Shooting, Archery, Fishing, and Boating. Ziplining and Climbing will both be available with and additional fee.  Many more activities will be added.
