The photo was a year ago at the BSA National Jamboree at The Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve in West Virginia

I had to look up the official title.

There is a nice Wiki article

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Summit_Bechtel_Family_National_Scout_Reserve

Many sanctimonious FReepers hate the BSA and totally overlook the fact that there are many fantastic Americans that owe a lot to having been a scout. Stephen Bechtel is one such person.

Thanks for that, bert .. very informative article.
Huge kudos to the Bechtel foundation for their beneficence.

Tho I detest the recent drift of the organization, I’m one of those who’ll always be grateful for having been a Scout.

Umm, well, a lot of us are greatly disappointed by their leaders’ embrace of homosexuality, of Sodomy. I strongly suspect General Robert Baden-Powell would be, too.

BSA religious awards:
