Trail Blazing
How we plan to grow Scouting's
legacy in West Virginia.
WHEN WE UNVEILED plans for The Summit Bechtel Family National
Scout Reserve, we spoke of how this project would benefit the entire
New River Gorge region.
In July, we'll again make good on that promise with the Order of the
Arrow leading the way That's when we'll launch SummitCorps—The
New River Experience. This monthlong project, in partnership with the
National Park Service, will assemble some 2,000 Arrowmen, OA staff,
and volunteers to build mountain-biking trails on national park land
adjacent to The Summit.
Four teams of 500—each working a week during
that month-will help build from 25 to 40 miles of
several stacked loop-hike and bike-trail systems in the
Garden Ground and Craig Branch areas of the New
River Gorge National River.
The trail section in the Garden Ground area borders
The Summit property, allowing direct access for our
Scouts. The Craig Branch area, though farther down
the river, will provide a breathtaking view of the New
River Gorge.
We're building these trail systems with varying levels
of difficulty—from easy to expert. The designs were
developed under the watchful eye of the International
Mountain Biking Association to ensure authenticity.
And the job will entail rugged work as the trail is laid:
moving rock along steep grades, clearing invasive veg-
etation, and building drainage to prevent erosion.
We also entered into a great partnership with the
West Virginia National Guard, which is providing its
Glen Jean Armory for staging, camping, and meals.
We all remember our similar partnership with the
U.S. Forest Service during ArrowCorps5 in 2008, the
BSA's largest national service project since World War
II. Launching a large-scale conservation project on the
doorstep of our new national Scout reserve is even more special as we
enter Scouting's second century.
The beauty of this endeavor lies not only with the miles of scenic
trails that will appear along the New River Gorge mountainside. It also
demonstrates our commitment to give back to the region as a grateful
neighbor.
This Scouting legacy will be available for all to enjoy.
