FROM SCOUTING AMERICA: Jamboree is more than a destination. It's the adventure of a 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 National Jamboree is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure where Scouts and Scouters from across the country and world come together for high-adrenaline activities, lasting friendships and unforgettable experiences. It's a chance to challenge yourself, explore the outdoors and be part of something bigger-all in one epic event.
Since 2013, National Jamborees are permanently held at The Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve in Mount Hope, West Virginia.
