Throughout the month of July, dozens of members of the Order of the Arrow partook in one of the largest youth service projects in the history of the National Park Service (NPS)—SummitCorps: The New River Experience.
During four weeks of backbreaking labor, Arrowmen aided the NPS at the New River Gorge National River in building 12.8 miles of mountain biking and hiking trails.
The recently launched Summit Blog has more information on the event, including features on the youth leaders that ran the entire project, as well as the adventure activities the Scouts were rewarded with and what the NPS did to thank the Arrowmen for their help.
