National Jamboree, July 22-31, 2026 at the Summit Bechtel Reserve (SBR), in Glen Jean West Virginia.

Every three years, the National Council of Scouting America organizes the ultimate Scout experience, the National Jamboree! It is a National encampment that brings together Scouts and adult leaders from throughout the country, along with visiting Scouts from other parts of the world. It is the ultimate in Scouting experiences where you will be able to take part in mountain climbing, kayaking, rafting, shooting, SCUBA and many, many more activities, while meeting Scouts from around the world.

Contingent Composition: Our council contingent will consist of a Boy Troop (36 youth) , Girl Troop (36 youth), a half Crew (18 youth/adult participants) and a half Ship (18 youth/adult participants).  

Contingent Itinerary:  The committee has decided that in order to keep the prices down we will fly directly to the Jamboree with no additional side trips or excursions. The price for the travel has not been determined, yet, and will be added to the registration fees as soon as it is confirmed.
