Picaboo Yearbooks and the Boy Scouts of America Team Up to Document the Building of the Summit Betchel National Reserve
Redwood City, CA and Mount Hope, WV (PRWEB) July 30, 2013 -- Picaboo Yearbooks (PYB), a division of the premier photo provider, Picaboo, has partnered with the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) to tell the story of the building of the Summit Betchel Reserve (SBR). The Building of the Summit is a 7-part book featuring the sustainable approach behind the 10,600-acre site’s construction that has seamlessly merged the great outdoors with cutting edge technology. The book showcases the stunning photography of the SBR, which is strategically located along the border of the New River Gorge National River, a unit of the National Park System in West Virginia, and expands the Summit into an 80,000-acre playground for the Scouts.
The Building of the Summit also documents the programs and outdoor adventures offered at the SBR, which are unrivaled anywhere else in the world, and will available year-round for the Scouts to develop the basic tenants of the BSA: personal growth, leadership training, sustainability and service to others. The Building of the Summit ties into the Scout’s rich history. A world-class facility built to serve a fundamental purpose, the SBR is a transformational place made possible through the generosity of philanthropists who truly understand and embrace the opportunities provided to our youth.
"The future of Scouting depends on stories such as 'The Building of the Summit' to push the movement’s legacy forward. It’s the stories of generosity and the commitment to this cause that need to be documented. We feel a tremendous amount of pride to partner with an organization of this caliber,” said Picaboo Yearbooks President, Bryan Payne.
Through their partnership with the BSA, Picaboo Yearbooks will continue to expand their revolutionary portfolio with Scout Books as a platform for Scouts to tell their stories. Scouts can personalize their own Scout Books with personal photos and video through QR codes. Payne continues, “Every scout has a story to tell. And each one is tied to scouting’s fundamental purpose and core values. Picaboo Scout Books are the perfect avenue for capturing and keeping the scouting principles at the forefront of every scout’s mind.” With Picaboo Yearbooks’ revolutionary storytelling software, the Scouting stories and memories will continue to burn bright as the perfect lifelong reminders of what it truly means to be a Boy Scout.
