Cascade Pacific Council Contingent Dates
July 18 - August 1, 2026

The Cascade Pacific Council Contingent consists of 4 units, comprised each of 36 youth and 4 adult leaders. Units will include 3 Male Troops and 1 Female Troop. They will meet throughout our 19 counties in the Council. 

As a part of Jamboree, each unit will participate in fundraisers to help keep this trip available for anyone who wants to attend.

Pre-Jamboree Tour
With 2026 being the 250th Anniversary of the United States, you have the opportunity to check out some of our Nation’s historical sites before arriving at the National Jamboree. Many council contingents add on a tour of East Coast cities and landmarks as part of their National Jamboree experience, either before or after the event. Our contingent will fly into Washington DC and tour the area and numerous places on the way to West Virginia.

Key Dates
The CPC Contingent will depart July 18, 2026 for Washington DC to tour, and return August 1, 2026. National Jamboree official dates are July 22 - July 31, 2026.

Activity Areas
The National Jamboree showcases the broad range of activities available within Scouting! Those activities are conducted at many adventure venues found at the Summit Bechtel Reserve. While youth attending the National Jamboree will have the chance to experience some of these adventure venues, capacity constraints and the sheer number of attendees will make their experience very different than one received during a Summit high-adventure experience. Contingent leaders should help youth and parents understand that the National Jamboree is primarily a social event that celebrates Scouting, not a high-adventure experience.

In addition, our ability to open adventure venues depends on the staff we are able to recruit. We request that each council help recruit JST (Staff) members so that we are able to open as many venues as possible. We will provide an update no later than February 2026 on our ability to run these venues. The adventure areas will offer activity experiences to get the participants’ blood pumping. Most activities will be available on a first come, first served basis and will be designed for maximum throughput. Adventure Valley is home to The Rocks (rock climbing), Low Gear (cross-country mountain biking), Alexander Eagle Flight (formerly known as Big Zip), and lake kayaking.

Thrasher Mountain is home to The Park and The Trax. The Park houses the Summit’s first-rate skateboarding facilities. At The Trax participants will find the Summit’s thrilling BMX Course.

The Bows and Barrels at the 2026 National Jamboree will offer the widest variety of range and target activities ever; shotguns, rifles, pistols (age and program restrictions apply), 3-D archery, and sporting arrows.

Aquatics activities will be located at the Summit’s man-made lakes Goodrich Lake will be home to fishing, basic kayaking, paddle boarding, and an expanded Water Reality obstacle course.

Tri Dave Lake will be home to advanced kayaking. Summit Center adventure venues feature climbing, rappelling, mountain biking, skateboarding, canopy tour, and BMX activities
