Three Fires Council is planning to send 3 Scout BSA Troops for boys, 1 Scout BSA Troop for Girls, and 1 Venture Crew/Ship to the 2026 National Scout Jamboree. Each Unit consists of at least 36 youth and 4 adult volunteers.

The 2026 National Jamboree takes place at Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia July 22 - July 31, 2026.  Our Council Contingent will depart early morning of July 21 to begin our journey to Jamboree and will return in the evening on July 31.

Scouts,  Venturers or Shipmates must have a current Troop, Crew, or Ship membership. Scouts must be 12-17 years old. Venturers and Sea Scouts must be 14-20 years old.

*** Special note for Scouts BSA Girls, Sea Scouts & Venturers*** We are currently committed to 18 youth for our Scouts BSA Troop for Girls and our Crew / Ship.  This means - the first 18 Scouts BSA girls to register are guaranteed a place in our Contingent.  The first 18 Sea Scouts / Venturers that register are guaranteed a place in our contingent.  After we fill the first 18 places, we will build our waitlist.  Once our waitlist gets to 18, ALL 18 of those registered will be moved into the Contingent Troop/Ship/Crew.

The Jamboree will be estimated to cost $2,495 spots are first come first served so register now.  The current Jamboree Fee Payment Schedule is as follows. You can always pay in advance if possible.
