2023 NATIONAL JAMBOREE
National Jamboree is 360-degrees of fun, friends and fellowship with hands-on adventure that takes you places you never thought you’d go and challenge you to try things you never thought you could! From 19-28 July 2023, the Boy Scouts of America will host 40,000 Scouts from all over the country for the National Jamboree to be held at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia.

More than just a gathering of Scouts, the Jamboree will provide High Adventure programming, a chance to meet Scouts from around the country, and so much more. Many of you have waited years for the opportunity to attend a Jamboree, and we are excited to offer a local contingent that will help you reach this Scouting milestone. We hope that you will consider joining us as we plan and take part in a memorable Scouting adventure!
