Senior in High School with Army ROTC 4 year national scholarship. I have a free summer before starting school in the fall and I was wondering if I should try to attend BCT and if so how I would do that?

No reason to do BCT. You likely can't get a summer date at this point anyway and if you did go to BCT you risk your scholarship. You might get hurt, extended to complete BCT interfering with your school start date, .... If you were to sign a contract to go to BCT you would be committing to the NG, Reserves, or AD and would then have to 'break' that contract to sign the ROTC contract.

Get a job for the summer - you'll need gas or pizza money for college, take a general education class at your local JC/CC, volunteer somewhere, go on a vacation with your family, ..... Plenty of options. The advantage to taking a summer class is you can open up elective options at your college/university.

Ohhhh I forgot to say.... get in shape... pass your PT/ACFT test right when you get to school so you can contract at the first opportunity.
 
Get started on DoDMERB exams and request any medical records that might be helpful if you have a possible DQ. Congratulations!
