2026 National Scout Jamboree

July 22-31, 2026

The theme for the 2026 National Jamboree is "ELEVATE". The theme is intended to prepare Scouts for a life of purpose and impact. The National Jamboree is scouting’s one-of-a-kind flagship event. It’s a gathering of tens of thousands of Scouts, leaders, and Jamboree Service Team members that showcases everything that is great about Scouting America.  

The Suwannee River Area Council will be sending a contingent Scout Troop to the National Scout Jamboree.  The Jamboree will take place from July 22-31, 2026 at the Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve.  We will leave a few days early to have some fun as we travel to the Jamboree!
