Boy Scouts Groundbreaking
WEST VIRGINIA....
The Boy Scouts of America broke ground Friday on a 10,600-acre project in Fayette County. More than $100 million has been donated toward construction of a Boy Scouts adventure camp and the permanent home of the group's national jamboree in southern West Virginia. Among the additional gifts announced Friday was a $25 million donation from the Suzanne and Walter Scott Foundation of Omaha, Nebraska. Officials say the project will be completed in time to host the national jamboree from July 15 to 24, 2013. The camp will take advantage of the New River Gorge National River and the area's recreational opportunities, including whitewater rafting, mountain biking and rock climbing.
