Scouting America National Jamboree 2026

Jamboree is more than a destination. It’s the adventure of lifetime. And there is simply nothing else like it on the planet.
What’s a Jamboree? It’s not camp. 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.
It’s the beginning of your own heroes’ journey that will challenge you to go farther than you ever thought possible. You’ll reach deeper and lift yourself higher to become the best version of yourself.
The next National Jamboree will be held at Summit Bechtel Reserve from July 22-31, 2026. More details can be found here: jamboree.scouting.org/
Your fee includes all travel, food, excitement, and SWAG that you will need for your trip. You will come back with a duffel full of memories to last a lifetime.
