Stephen Bechtel Jr. gave the BSA $50 million to help build Scouting's fourth high-adventure base. So it should come as no surprise that Bechtel believes in the power of the BSA.

"I just felt this was something I could do to pay a little bit back to the Scouts for what I got from them," he told Forbes.com in a recent video interview.

Bechtel is one of eight billionaires who are also Eagle Scouts. Check out the full video below as Forbes takes you inside the fascinating life of this "Billionaire Boy Scout."
