National Jamboree
The National Jamboree is Scouting’s flagship event — a once-in-a-lifetime gathering of Scouts, Venturers, and leaders that celebrates the spirit of Scouting with friends, fellowship, and unforgettable adventure. It’s not just another camp — it’s ten days of 360° fun, challenges, leadership opportunities, and experiences you’ll remember forever.
When & Where
The next National Jamboree will be held July 22–31, 2026 at Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia — one of the world’s premier outdoor adventure facilities. Scouts from across the nation come together to explore a massive campus full of activities designed to inspire courage, confidence, and character.
What Makes Jamboree Unique
At Jamboree, Scouts have the chance to:
- Connect with thousands of fellow Scouts from across the country
- Take part in high-adventure activities like climbing, mountain biking, whitewater rafting, zip-lining, and more
- Engage in leadership development and hands-on skill building
- Enjoy large-scale shows, exhibits, and Scouts’ fellowship designed to push you farther than you thought possible
Planning & Participation
The East Carolina Council is beginning planning for the 2026 National Jamboree contingent — including youth, contingent leaders, committee members, and those interested in serving on the Jamboree Service Team. If you’re interested in attending or helping plan our council’s participation, the council encourages you to express your interest as planning continues.
The National Jamboree truly is an opportunity to grow, make lifelong memories, and experience the best of Scouting on a national stage.
