The 2026 National Jamboree at the Summit Bechtel Reserve will be held on
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 whole experience, from meeting fellow band members from around the country, auditioning for a seat, rehearsing together, traveling around Ft AP Hill to share music and Scout Spirit, to playing in that final jamboree show was so much fun. It was amazing seeing the thousands of scouts and visitors stream into the amphitheater was a thrill.
Of all my campouts in my 50 years of scouting that was by far the best time I ever had!
I have so many great memories. I’ve been to nine Jamborees!
The 1985 BSA Jamboree was a GREAT experience!!!
It opened up my eyes to how much was out there in the world that I could learn about. My time at the Jamboree made it so easy to walk around and check out Scuba, or skeet shooting, or advanced first aid stuff for first time. It was also great to live in an entire city of people my age for a little while. I loved the whole experience!
It was a lifetime opportunity and a dream come true for me when I step in to attend the 24th WSJ 2019 at SBR. Best memories of my Scouting life.
I was on national jamboree staff in 1997 at trading post B. One of the best times of my life. Would not trade it for the world!
