There's only ONE National Jamboree.
Ten days. Hundreds of adventures. A once-in-a-lifetime experience. 

BSA SUMMIT BECHTEL RESERVE, WV

Jamboree is a mountain-top experience – and at the heart of it all is what it means to truly be a Scout. Since 1937, National Jamborees have brought youth leaders together from all over the country and the world to share the bond that is Scouting. Jamboree is an adventure that will challenge you to go farther than you ever thought possible.  But you can. And you will.

FAQ's

I am a youth that would like to attend, how do I get signed up?

Register using this registration site. There will be no fees due until you are a confirmed member of the contingent. You will recieve an individual notice once you are a confirmed attendee. 

Youth should be at least 12 years old by July 22, 2026.

Attendees that will be 18 - 21 during the Jamboree travel and event July 19 - August 1, 2026 (and those turning 18-21 during the trip) will be kept on a waiting list until more information regarding age policies are released from the national event. We are not sure at this time in what capacity Scouts 18 - 21 will be able to participate. We encourage you to get on the waiting list if you are interested, so we can reach out to you as soon as we know further information. There is no fee to be on the waiting list.

I am adult that would like to attend, how do I get signed up?

The only way an adult can attend the Jamboree with the council contingent is through the 2026 Jamboree Adult Leadership Interest Form. Applications are due April 23, 2024.

After May 1, 2024, this registration site will have an option for adults interested in being on a waiting list will open up. These waitlisted spots would only become confirmed spots if there were enough youth interest and an additional adult leadership is needed, or if a previously confirmed leader is no longer able to attend. There is no fee to be on the waiting list.

Another option for adults wanting to attend the Jamboree is to attend as a member of the JST (Jamboree Service Team (staff)), periodically check the Jamboree website for more details. Those interested in serving in the JST will apply directly through the national event website.
