Planning for the 2026 National Jamboree is moving full speed ahead, and we want to extend a heartfelt welcome, and an enormous thank-you, for joining the team that will bring this once-in-a-lifetime experience to life for thousands of Scouts.

For most participants, a Jamboree is a once-in-their-Scouting adventure. The memories they’ll carry home…the laughter, the challenges, the friendships…will depend on each of us working together to make this event truly extraordinary. And we’re thrilled to have you as part of that journey.

We’re already building an exciting and meaningful program. From the return of favorites like the Chat and Chew and dynamic arena shows, to new experiences that celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, the 2026 Jamboree promises to be a celebration of Scouting at its best. Just as important will be the camaraderie you’ll find among fellow staff members, dedicated Scouters from across the country who share your commitment to creating something unforgettable.

The National Jamboree is Scouting’s premiere event, and it simply wouldn’t be possible without you. Thank you for stepping up to serve, for giving your time and talent, and for helping shape an experience that will inspire a generation.

In the coming weeks, you should be hearing from your Area Lead as planning continues, and teams begin to take shape.

We’re glad you’ve joined the team. Together, let’s Elevate this Jamboree…and make history while we do it.
