Take me to the Summit!!!

The National Jamboree Will Elevate your scouting experience in 2026.

The Jamboree takes place at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia. There will be 1-2 travel days on each end of the Jamboree.

Elevate your experience to the best of Scouting in one place. From stadium shows to merit badges, patch trading to adventure sports, don’t miss out on this life changing experience.

If you have any questions at all, please email them to brian.lechner@scouting.org and one of our volunteers will get in touch with you to assist.
