The 2023 National Scout Jamboree will be held at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia July 19th-28th. More than just a gathering of Scouts from around the country, the Jamboree offers dozens of activities (such as shooting climbing, cope courses, ziplines, Scuba, whitewater, obstacle courses, whitewater), merit badges, a STEM area, concerts, patch trading, and more. You can find more information on what goes on at Jamboree here: https://jamboree.scouting.org/

In order for Scouts to go to Jamboree, they must apply and pay through their local council, which puts together troops consisting of Scouts throughout the council. As is our tradition, GLAAC will be our troops on a four-day tour of the East Coast (Philadelphia, Gettysburg, Washington DC, and King’s Dominion Amusement Park), followed by the nine days at Jamboree. There will be separate troops for boys and girls. Scouts will fly out late on July 14th and return late on July 28th. The cost of the event includes flights, the tour, Jamboree, and some Jamboree-related gear.

Please note that adults may only register if they have been approved as a leader by the Jamboree coordinators. For any questions, please contact Gayle Hagegard (gayle@hagegard.com).
