It’s that time again—preparations are underway for the 2026 National Scout Jamboree (NSJ)! While it may seem far off, there’s a lot of planning and excitement ahead, and we need your help to make this an unforgettable experience.
What is the National Scout Jamboree?
The NSJ is the pinnacle event for Scouting America, BSA—a ten-day gathering of Scouts from every state and around the world. With over 30,000 participants and staff, it’s an incredible opportunity for Scouts to make new friends, experience the best of Scouting, and learn from others across the globe. For most youth, this is a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, as the Jamboree only happens every four years.

We want every youth participant to have the most exciting and memorable Jamboree possible. We’re calling on our Scouting community for support.
Leaders Needed!
We are seeking registered leaders to help with planning, logistics, and to attend the NSJ as Scoutmasters and Assistant Scoutmasters for our contingent units. If you’re interested in being part of this incredible journey, please reach out to:
