In July 2013, along with about 40,000 others, I attended the Boy Scout Jamboree at the Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve (Summit) in West Virginia. The Summit is a 4,300-ha (10,600-acre) site donated by Massey Energy Co., now part of Alpha Natural Resources, and located beside the New River Gorge National River. Many other mining companies and individuals associated with mining donated money for the construction of facilities (reported to cost approximately $450 million). It is now the permanent home of the Boy Scouts of America's (BSA) National Jamboree.
