Climbing and rappelling walls, zip lines, canopy tours and challenge courses.

I know that many of you have probably strapped on a harness, clipped on  a rope with your carabiner and climbed or rappelled. Maybe you have even been on  a challenge course or a zip line at some point. But I bet you haven’t seen  anything like what is waiting for you at the jamboree in  2013.

You Don’t Want To Miss Out

How does a massive climbing wall with room for more than 200 Scouts to all climb and rappel at once sound?

That’s what you will find at the Climbing Cove in Adventure Valley.  Eldorado Climbing Walls is our specialist installing the several different climbing venues at the Summit. 

Near the climbing area will also be a challenge ropes course that will  test ALL your Scouting skills. Safe? Absolutely. But you will stretch your limits—and probably your muscles—to make it all the way through this activity.

 Zip Lines? We Love Zip Lines!

How does not 1, not 2, but 5 parallel zip lines over 3,000-feet long stretching from the top of Adventure Valley across the kayak lake and where you  can reach speeds up to 50 mph sound?

 We call it ZIPZILLA! And it will be one of the longest zip lines in all  of North America.

Still  not challenging enough for you?

Then hike on over and try out the multi-leg zip line course up in the treetops of Hemlock Gorge. This is called a “canopy tour.”

Love zip lines? Wait until you see what's in store for you at the 2013 Jamboree!

                              “Jambo-What?   What’s That?”
Get yourself to the 2013 National Scout Jamboree at the Summit. You won't want to miss out!  Imagine a summer camp or camporee — times 40,000. The national Scout jamboree is a gathering of over 40,000 Scouts from all over the country (and abroad, too!)  that is hosted by the Boy Scouts of America. It is held every 4 years, and for  the first time in 2013, it will be at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in West  Virginia.

If you’re into whitewater rafting, rock climbing, zip lining and action-packed activities, your addiction to adrenaline will be perfectly satisfied at the 2013 National Scout Jamboree. If you’re more suited to science, technology, conservation, history and fellowship, the Jamboree will nurture your skills and provide you with cutting-edge resources, displays and information to interact  with.

Combined with award-winning shows, celebrities, service to others and lasting friendships, the 2013 National Scout Jamboree is the epitome of Scouting experiences, where you can GO BIG and GET WILD. Oh, and did we mention some of the world’s best patch trading?

The clock is ticking. The 2013 National Scout Jamboree is less than 18 months away, and when you’re making plans for 40,000-plus people, that’s not a very long time. The jamboree team needs time to develop an experience that is tailored just for you! And, with Scouts from all over the country eager to attend, slots are filling up quickly.
