JUSTICE NATIONAL SCOUT CAMP | Leaders’ Guide Revised: 3/13/2017 Welcome Letter The Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve 2550 Jack Furst Drive Glen Jean, WV 25846 Dear Unit Leaders, 3 Welcome to the James C. Justice National Scout Camp! I hope you are as excited as I am to provide life-changing program to the youth in your unit. Like many other scout camps, our program is designed to be an extension of the program that you offer in your unit. However, our program includes the added experience of adventure sports instruction and the amazing facilities available here at The Summit Bechtel Reserve. The following are the Summit Bechtel Reserve’s Core Values and are guiding principles of the staff at the Justice Scout Camp: Adventure – We encourage Scouts to challenge themselves through exciting adventure sports, wilderness survival, and outdoor exploration. Service – Through meaningful projects, we teach Scouts the fulfillment that comes with helping others. Sustainability – With experiential learning, we develop scouts into stewards of the world we live in and teach them to be mindful of their economic, social, and environmental impacts. Leadership – Through training, challenges, and empowerment, we help scouts excel at taking command of their lives and setting an example for others. These Core Values mean a lot to us, and can be great tools to help you mold the leaders of tomorrow. Please keep them in mind while planning and participating in your experience at the Justice National Scout Camp. These along with the Aims and Methods of Scouting are our tools to deliver the mission of The Boy Scouts of America, and develop the character of today’s youth. Our staff is preparing for this coming summer with eager anticipation and are willing to do whatever they can to make sure your stay here is an amazing experience. Here are a few things to keep in mind to help us make your experience the best it can be: Please thoroughly read through this guide, the attached documents, and any future correspondence (many of the pictures, forms, titles and videos in this guide are interactive or clickable and will link to other resources). As we innovate new program ideas, our certain schedules, requirements, and other details may change. This program takes place in the Scott Summit Center. It is not a National High Adventure Program and therefore does not guarantee access to the high adventure JAMES C. JUSTICE NATIONAL SCOUT

JUSTICE NATIONAL SCOUT CAMP | OA Prism Participant Guide Welcome Letter Dear Arrowman, Congratulations on your selection as a participant for the 2016 Prism experience! We are excited to share life-changing experiences with you at the Summit Bechtel Reserve this summer. You will have access to all of the adventures the Scott Summit Center provides; these include rock climbing, zip-lining, boating, biking and so much more! During your stay you will also give back to the SBR through a service project along with fellow Arrowmen from around the country. The service project that you assist with will leave a mark on the SBR and Scouting for generations to come. Be proud of this! The defining experience of Prism will be the inaugural rededication ceremony at the newly constructed Summit Circle. The ceremony will provide you with a glimpse of what the future holds for the OA and how you can impact the direction it takes. As you ponder your role, you will be surrounded by remnants of Treasure Island Scout Reservation’s original ceremony circle where Dr. Goodman once stood, as well as a commemoration of our legacy lodge rocks, granting you a chance to reflect on our past. As a Prism participant, you will be one of the first Arrowmen to experience the new national ceremonial grounds and serve as a guide into a new century of brotherhood, cheerfulness and service. As we all prepare for this summer, it is important that you stay on top of important action items, including your medical form, travel arrangements and other time sensitive requirements.

To ensure all potential stakeholders and the public had the opportunity to provide input, a Stakeholder & Public Engagement Plan was developed to outline public outreach tools, including meetings, surveys and interviews of various stakeholders involved in or affected by the State’s rail system. First, WVSRA reached out to WVDOT staff, transportation experts, rail users and industry, to form a steering committee and an advisory committee. Then, WVSRA conducted two rounds of public outreach to share information about West Virginia’s rail system and solicit citizens’ opinions on the future of the system. Additionally, WVSRA conducted targeted outreach with the rail industry, users and special interest/advocacy groups to gain further insight on the rail system and needs.
