Elevate Your Jamboree Journey!
The Jamboree experience begins well before the event and creates lasting memories long after Scouts depart from the Summit Bechtel Reserve. Event activities will inspire Scouts to plan, train, and prepare as they come together as units. Following the Jamboree, Scouts will carry meaningful experiences to reflect on for days, months, and even years to come.
This year’s Jamboree will have even more to celebrate with the United States marking the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, a momentous occasion known as the Semi quincentennial. This celebration seeks to:
- Illuminate our nation’s rich history
- Encourage active engagement from all Americans
- Advance our journey toward a more perfect union
- Enrich the field of history
Be a part of this historic celebration before, during, and after the Jamboree by participating in the many exciting events and opportunities across our great nation!
The Elevate Your Jamboree Journey program offers access to preferred partner attractions and group rates pre- and post-event at various destinations along your route.
Many council contingents elect to enhance their journey to/from the Jamboree with additional tours or adventures, including visits to landmarks, museums, campsites, parks, and more. These experiences become educational and memorable highlights of each Scout’s journey.
As Scouts travel across the country, they will encounter numerous examples of Americans who have made significant impacts. Units are encouraged to incorporate reflection and discussion into their tours with questions such as:
- Which notable Americans are connected to the historic sites and landmarks we visited or passed today?
- What did these Americans consider their life’s purpose? How did they achieve it?
- What impact did these Americans have?
- How does their impact relate to their purpose?
We invite you to explore partner options we’ve identified to help with your Jamboree planning and touring adventures!
