It is with deep sadness we inform you that VenturingFest 2020 has been cancelled due to local and state COVID-19 restrictions. Because so many VenturingFest activities are group-oriented, it will not be possible to hold or reschedule the event this year, and it will not be rescheduled for 2021 as the focus will be on Venturing attendance at the 2021 National Jamboree.
We are disappointed but not discouraged as we fully respect the guidance provided by local and state authorities in West Virginia, which have notified the Summit Bechtel Reserve that operations cannot resume until July 1, 2020.
The good news is that you can still attend the Summit this year since the Summit plans on serving units and contingents with reservations for Summer 2020 starting in July, supported by new health and safety guidelines that are being developed for the remainder of summer 2020 for all staff, participants and guests.
