Summit Bechtel Reserve

Summer 2020 resulted in the closure of most summer camps in the country.  Troop 648 still managed to send a small crew of 4 Scouts to an ad hoc program of adventure bases.  As a former Troop 648 Scoutmaster says, “SBR is like Disneyworld for Scouting!”

​

In order to develop character, citizenship, and personal fitness, young people need the opportunity to push past their comfort zones in real world settings that help them understand who they are and envision who they can become. High adventure programs provide crucial experiences that help young people clarify their values, goals and vision for the future.

​

High adventure at SBR adds a new dimension to the Scouting experience. High adventure is not just about adrenaline and the wow factor, it’s about digging deep within yourself, finding out what makes you tick and discovering how to push beyond what you think you can do.
