National Scout Jamboree Registration

Scouts, Scouters and Venturers from across the Michigan Crossroads Council register for the Jamboree as individuals. In September 2025, Scouts and Venturers will be allocated to troops and crews based on the Scout’s and Venturer’s geographic location. This allows Scouts and Venturers from the same troop or crew and neighboring troops and crews to come together to form contingent troops and crews. Contingent troops and crews consist of 40 participants, 36 youth and 4 adult leaders. 

You must register for the 2026 National Scout Jamboree with the Michigan Crossroads Council website to pay your Jamboree fees. Please write down your registration number when you've completed the registration process. You will need this when you make future payments.

Youth attending the Jamboree with the Michigan Crossroads Council register on the MCC website and make their Jamboree payments through the same website. 

For youth Jamboree registrations, be sure to use youth registrant’s BSA Member ID, not a parent’s or guardian’s BSA Member ID number.

All participant payments are non-refundable but can be transferred to another non-registered participant who replaces a cancelling participant. Additionally, application requires that the Scouts and Venturers abide by the specific policies of the Jamboree and failure of any participant to adhere to those policies will serve as grounds to have their participation revoked (with no refund).
