The National Jamboree is Scouting’s flagship event and is one-of-a-kind. Join 25,000 Scouts, leaders, and staff at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia to experience everything from one of the longest zip lines in North America, a world-class skate park, all-terrain vehicles, treetop canopy tours, rock climbing, patch trading, stadium shows, and much more! Held every four years, the Jamboree is an amazing opportunity for everyone to experience the best of Scouting, all in one place.  Your Scout may have been to the Summit Bechtel Reserve, but they have not experienced the awesomeness of the Jamboree.
