The 2026 National Scout Jamboree will be held at the Summit Bechtel Reserve July 22-31, 2026.

The National Jamboree is a gathering of scouts and scouters from all over the country and around the world.  It is only held every four years and because of that, many scouts only get one opportunity to attend a Jamboree.  Thousands of scouts and scouters describe the National Jamboree as one of the mountaintop experiences of their scouting career.  The event-wide arena shows are returning during the 2026 NSJ. The Jamboree will also celebrate the 250^th birthday of the USA.

Buckskin Council is sending one full male troop (36 scouts and 4 leaders) and a half female troop (18 scouts and 2 leaders).  That is a total of 60 scouts and scouters from Buckskin Council.

The fee is $1950 and is all-inclusive, covering all of the equipment you will need to camp plus all of your food and activities.  The fee also covers transportation to and from the Jamboree, and you will also get a daypack, a duffle, t-shirts, hats, patches, and other items.  Register before November 3, 2025 to avoid the $240 late fee.

Scouts must be 12 years old by July 22, 2026, and not be 18 years old by the end of the Jamboree, July 31st.

So, what do you need to do?  Register today for your once in a lifetime opportunity.  A deposit is required when you first register.  Regular payments must be made during the coming year.  When registering, you will need to know your Scouting Member ID number.  It can be found on your membership card.  The Scouting Member ID number is NOT the same as your Scoutbook ID number.  If you need help determining you Member ID number, contact the Service Center.

The council has developed a payment schedule to help scouts and their families budget the Jamboree experience.  Scholarships may be available.
