National Jamboree

Scouting’s flagship event is one-of-a-kind. It’s a gathering of tens of thousands of Scouts, leaders, and Jamboree Service Team members that showcases everything that is great about Scouting America. Over the course of 10 summer days, once every four years, Scouting America gathers together at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia. Scouts and Scouters who attend will explore all kinds of adventures—stadium shows, pioneer village, Mount Jack hikes, adventure sports and more—in the heart of one of nature’s greatest playgrounds. With 10,000 acres at the Summit to explore, there’s no shortage of opportunities to build Scouting memories.
This can be 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.
Scouting America's National Jamboree is held at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in Wild & Wonderful West Virginia.
The 2026 National Jamboree theme "ELEVATE" perfectly captures the spirit of this National Jamboree. It’s about rising to new challenges, reaching new heights, and helping our Scouts discover their potential in ways they’ve never imagined.
