The National Jamboree is the experience of a lifetime! Join us for our rally and get info about going with the Northeast Illinois Council. The rally is free and open to Scouts, families and former Jamboree participants of all ages.

Drop in anytime to learn more about this special event and how to sign up to participate.

The next Jamboree is July 22-31, 2026, with one additional travel day before and after.

Scouts from all over the country go to Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia every 3–4 years for 360 degrees of fun, friends and fellowship with hands-on adventure that takes you places you never thought you’d go and challenges you to try things you never thought you could.
