2026 National Scout Jamboree
When the first National Scout Jamboree was held in Washington, DC in 1937, Dan Beard lit the opening campfire using flint and steel. Scouts from all 48 states brought the wood that was used in the campfire. Since that time, an additional 18 National Jamborees have been held and you have an opportunity to join the 20th National Scout Jamboree at the Boy Scouts of America’s world-class facility, the Summit Bechtel Reserve in West Virginia from July 22 through 31, 2026.
National Scout Jamborees are one of Scouting’s pinnacle events. Jamborees are an opportunity for more than 15,000 Scouts, Venturers, and Scouters, to come together for fellowship, high adventure, and exciting once-in-a-lifetime programs. Hawk Mountain Council is planning to host at least one Scout troop for this Jamboree of 36 youth and 4 adults. Space is limited, so reserve your spot today! The Council will continue to add additional troops and/or patrols based on demand.
