Summit Bechtel Reserve

The grounds are absolutely stunning, with so many breathtaking spots for photos. From the ceremony to the reception, every backdrop felt like a dream. We were especially grateful for Liz, the day-of coordinator. She was truly wonderful to work with—so attentive, incredibly detail-oriented, and worked seamlessly with our wedding planner to ensure everything ran smoothly. Thanks to her and the entire staff, we didn’t have to worry about a thing on the big day. The team handled all the setup/cleanup, and someone was always available to shuttle us around for photos, our first look, and private vows. They genuinely doted on us throughout the entire evening, going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and stress-free. They even personally served us dinner and left leftovers in our room for a perfect midnight snack. The food was absolutely delicious. We went with the Italian menu option, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much they enjoyed it. Every dish was delicious!. Our experience at Summit Bechtel Reserve was magical from start to finish. We’re so grateful for their incredible staff and this unforgettable location!

I've never seen the Reserve. Like many scouting families, we were thrilled to hear of the donation from the Bechtel Family to acquire the property for Scouting. On a recent trip through the area, my son (who is an Eagle Scout) and I wanted to drive through the reserve from one side to the other just to get a glimpse of everything it had to offer.

Like many scouting families, we were thrilled to hear of the donation from the Bechtel Family to acquire the property for Scouting. On a recent trip through the area, my son (who is an Eagle Scout) and I wanted to drive through the reserve from one side to the other just to get a glimpse of everything it had to offer. To my surprise, unless it's during the Jamboree, the entire facility is closed to any and all Scouts. No tours, no glimpses no admission, no exceptions. I'm sorry, but when a family like the Bechtel's gives 50 million dollars for the acquisition of a Boy Scout Preserve, you'd think someone would want all scouts to come and see it. It's not "take only pictures and leave only footprints"...it's "just leave"...and we did.
