NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- The Boy Scouts of America Council based in Nashville has bought 1,600 acres on the Cumberland Plateau.
The Middle Tennessee Council will be available as a wilderness reservation to Boy Scout troops in the region.
About 300 acres of the tract are cleared and the rest is a pine and hardwood forest.
Scouting officials said the land is surrounded by 50,000 acres of public property, including Fall Creek Falls State Park and the Bridgestone-Firestone Centennial Wilderness Area, which offers even more opportunity for caving, rock climbing, rappelling, fishing and kayaking.
