What Are the Contingent Costs?

The cost of the 2026 National Scout Jamboree for our contingent will fall between $3,500 and $3,800. This includes flights to and from the Jamboree, transportation and touring before the Jamboree (including food and lodging), Jamboree participant fees, tents, luggage, and a set of contingent identifying patches and insignia. Travel plans are being made and more information will be sent out as these plans are finalized.    

Expect a payment schedule in Spring of 2025.

Financial Aid    

Northern Star Scouting will not turn away any youth for the inability to pay a registration fee.

Council supported fundraising opportunities coming soon.
